In my opinion Madama Butterfly portrays the situation when we get obsessed with an idea that will doom us. In this case, the Japanese doll falls in love with the captain. She is so into the idea of having found her true love that she is not able to see that the captain had abandoned her. Time passes, and she has a baby. The kid symbolizes her true love, but when she sees the captain's boat back, you can see that she has almost abandon her daughter.She still wants to pursue that idea of dream. She had not realized that her true love is already with her, her daughter. We can see the captain taking the daughter, this could symbolize how the pursue of old ideas that have failed can lead to the disaster of our current happiness. At the end she dismember herself, maybe because she just realized that she had her true love and because of her obsession with the captain made her lost the real true love.
