At first, I didn't understand the short at all. Even so, I felt sympathetic towards Butterfly, as she was betrayed by her 'love.' I felt longing as she waited and sadness as she wept. Butterfly waited for Pinkerton, her happiness depending on him. Although he was all she knew, it just shows how innocent/naive she was. Regardless, she intended on sharing her future with him. When he tossed her aside, however, the one person who she viewed the world of, she didn't see any validity in her joy. I interpret the short to explain the way that life, love, happiness, trust... it's all so fragile at the end of the day. If a person can live with love in their hearts, happiness in their souls, and still manage to place trust in others around them, then they put themselves in a vulnerable state. At the end of the day though, aren't those some of the key components of living?
