Two Faces of Love
It is interesting to know that the two names for the baby are “Trouble” and “Joy.” While love can be an emotion that brings absolute joy to a person, it can also bring trouble and despair to another. Cho-Cho-San happens to be one of the unfortunate souls that love brings sorrow to. She exclaims that “[loave don’t forget some thin’s or wha’s use of loave? Loave’s go to remember … some thin’s!” Her love, Lieutenant Pikerton, however, does not want to remember her. It was only during the two weeks after he sailed that he was “dotty in love with her.” He felt joy for only those two weeks, but he moved on because he no longer loved her. Sadly, Cho-Cho-San did not give herself the chance to feel love again and died with trouble in her heart.
