Reflection #10 David Henry Hwang's M.Butterfly

I founded that this was a very extense play, but rather interesting. In the beginning I was a little bored because I do not like to read much, but when I kept on reading and stopped for a moment, there was something that motivated me, that made me curious each time and moment to know, what would happen next? I think that David Henry Hwang is an excelent writter, it was a good piece, although there were some parts that where a bit shocking because you would never think you would be reading those kind of topics in some plays. I sincerely respect his style of writing, but in my opinion I think that there are somethings that are better unsaid and he seems to speak his mind wide and open. This is certainly a play that is for university students because is a bit strong in some aspects, for example, topics like adultery, excitement in the pleasures of having sexual relationships, and others. It should be taken with pincers because it could be propitiating perversion, by opening or expanding the minds and thoughts of the reader, waking areas that in some cases are not in those levels. On the other hand I understood how that author wanted that the play would not be only about the passion in these charaters, but also about the social problems that these two regions lived, the wars, the politics, revolution, prejudice and others. I really enjoyed reading this play and if I was assigned again to read a piece of David Henry Hwang, I would read it....
