Abstract

Madama Butterfly, one of the ten most famous operas in the world, is one of Puccini’s great realistic operas, and its cultural and artistic values are outstanding. This paper takes the tragic heroine in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly as the starting point and tries to summarize the characteristics of Puccini’s opera characters, i.e. “small characters - big sorrow”, and analyzes the causes of this characteristic from three perspectives: the specificity of the time, the emergence of realistic opera, and personal motivation. He also analyzes the causes of this characteristic from three perspectives: the specificity of the time, the creation of realistic opera, and his personal motivation.
