On this episode, I talk to my friend Zoë (she/her) about Giacomo Puccini's Madama Butterfly. It's a tragic romantic story of an American naval officer and his young Japanese bride. We discuss the delusions of love, how this story reflects the trend of orientalism, and how we personally hate and relate to Pinkerton.
Content warning: this episode discusses suicide.
