Reviews for Laughing At Gilded Butterflies

    A mistake in your title: it should be gilded, not guilded. Also, I read through the fic and it's not bad. I like the premise. But I don't see how Inoue is a gilded butterfly, especially given the context of King Lear (which is a play, not a poem). "Gilded butterflies" refer to courtiers (in particular two of Lear's daughters) who indulge in unnecessary extravagances to make themselves look better (I'm putting it glibly here, but you get the point). There's also a subtext having to do with blood, but I won't get into that here. At any rate, Inoue certainly is not at all superficial or overly-vain in your fic, so the term doesn't fit her. I think the metaphor you're looking for is a butterfly in a gilded cage.
