Two very different stories address this idea of the quest for happiness. M. Butterfly by David Henry Hwang is the story of a man named Gallimard who is longing for his love "Butterfly" to return to him. John Deeney describes it as him, clinging to his idea of a "Perfect Woman" to the end by costuming himself into the victimized Butterfly though his final suicide.

  • Butterfly's Tongue Ideology

Elizabeth Feldman de-Jang and Nathan Nothman are both excellent storytellers. They connected well with the interviewer and you could see the emotion they carried from their experience on their faces. Nathan Nothman shared his story with much greater ease than Elizabeth Feldman did but as they continued to talk to the interviewer, they both became comfortable, which made it much more
