The story of Madama Butterfly was drawn from life. Cio-Cio-San, the title character, lived in Nagasaki and married an American sailor who was on shore leave, but left her when his leave was over. While his feelings for her were passing, she believed utterly in his devotion and expected to see him as quickly as he could return, as he promised upon leaving. He did return but with his American wife, and only to collect the child he fathered on shore leave. Cio-Cio-San is one of the most powerful characterizations in theatre. It is impossible to watch unfeeling as her rightful expectations must meet with the unyielding reality that she has been nothing but a lieutenant's plaything. Her integrity is heartbreaking, and it is impossible to forget Cio-Cio-San.
