Study on the Orientalism Shown in The Quiet American and M. Butterfly

This paper aims to study the aspects of Orientalism in The Quiet American and M. Butterfly so as to reveal the controversial idea remaining in the Western culture. For this purpose, I point at the illusion and reasons of the Orientalism by discussing the triangular relationship between England and America as to Vietnam described as a woman of the street while reading The Quiet American and explain the story of M. Butterfly as an example that the concept of Gender is mixed with Orientalism. In the conclusion, I emphasize that Orientalism should be overcome by separating the Gender issue from it, which is an urgent problem to establish the real world-citizenship.
