M. Butterfly

Postby mangled_monkey » Sun Nov 27, 2005 11:13 am

I am writing a paper on M. Butterfly by D. H. Hwang. It has GLBT issues in it, and my paper is specifically addressing the characters' sexuality. I was hoping that others on this board have read the play and might be able to offer opinions on any of these things:

Song's sexuality/gender. Is Song a man or a woman? Why does he/she continue the charade longer than necessary? etc.

Gallimard's sexuality. Does Gallimard really know that Song is a man? Why does he allow himself to be fooled? Who really created the illusion? etc.

Any other useful info is welcome.
Everything you think you know, baby, is wrong.
And everything you think you had, baby, is gone.
