M. Butterfly

Of the many things Ioannis said about the play, the one thing I agree the most on is that Hwang tries way too hard to bring his point across. Westerners are stupid, & the Orients know everything. Yea, we get the idea. Hwang's continuous points about how the Orient's fooled Gallimard is clearly stated. However, in context of we have been discussing in class, this text clearly hits the needle on the head as to what Orientalism is all about. The text discusses the dichotomous relationship between the two opposing sides of the world.
