The traditional role of women in Chinese society was one of subservience and humility. The mythology of submissive Oriental women also manifests itself in the relationship between East and West. The Western countries still held colonies in Asia, and in colonization’s era of Asia, Western countries were dominant and Asian countries were dominated. Eventually, Western men were thought to be dominated and Eastern women were thought to be dominated. Secondly, the rejections of the negative stereotypes towards Oriental women in Hwang’ s M. Butterfly that are sifting the identity by being a spy and acquiring power to control relationship. She becomes a spy to steal the political information from Gallimard. On the other hand, she has a vision to dispel any negative stereotypes towards Oriental women. She also suggests that by having a baby from him, she can control their relationship. She wants to show that a woman can control them, because men need it in a relationship to feel safe.
