Abstract: | Exposing the compulsory heterosexuality as a socially constructed category, David Henry Hwang'sM. Butterfly(1998) dramatizes the notion of fluidity of sexual identity. Hwang creates the characters of ambiguous nature who go through multiple sexual identities in the play. It reveals that compulsory heterosexuality as a norm is a means to exclude and dominate others. So it focuses on "queering" such categories like male/female, homosexual/heterosexual, gay/lesbians. And, it advocates for all inclusive society like a garden where all flowers can bloom. |
