Metafora positif dan negatif

[Abiviosha Fahrizal]

menurut saya kupu kupu adalah seekor hewan yang indah dan biasanya hanya di temui saat ada matahari atau pada saat siang hari. dan makna negatifnya adalah kupu-kupu malam yang banyak di artikan orang indonesia adalah wanita penghibur atau pekerja sex. kemungkinan presepsi ini terjadi karena ada seseorang yang berargumen tentang keindahan wanita pada saat ditempat prostetusi dan selain itu makna kupu kupu malam juga di populerkan oleh grub band terkenal "PETERPAN" pada tahun 2005 degan judul yang sama "kupu-kupu malam" liriknya menceritakan tentang kehidupan seorang wanita yang negatif.

"Kupu-kupu" or so-called "Butterfly" in English includes in the kind of insect. It has a slender body with knobbed antennae. It also has a pair of wings to fly itself. When flying, the wings portrayed as the most salient part, since the wings are colorful well as reflecting its beauty.

Consequently I think that "kupu-kupu" with its salient beauty is possibly related to a woman in general. It is believed that every woman has these three absolute things: sex appeal, attractive body, and beautiful face. These are the nature of becoming a woman. So this metaphor is considered the positive one. On the other hand in Bahasa, we also have this kind of metaphor "Kupu-Kupu Malam" and it is usually used to point at the negative one.

Sadly "Kupu-Kupu Malam" refers to a prostitute woman in which she willingly gives a man all of herself in return for amount of money. Typically this kind of woman is what a man needs when his partner is out of expectation. He needs a woman who can satisfy himself, in particular, his lust. Furthermore, a man also likes a woman who makes an effort to win his heart with her attention.
