Vagina Monologues

I went to the Vagina Monologues feeling like that it might be some play that would start out funny, and then once you're "hooked" they slam all this "stop the violence" stuff in your face. I was wrong though. It was funny at times, and some times it made you think. I suppose the comical parts were to put you at ease (or make you uncomfortable), so that the entire show wasn't just a boring rant on how "violence should be stopped because..." Sometimes the stories were very vivid, like My Vagina Was My Village. It was shocking what happened to the woman, and if it weren't so vividly depicted, the point may not have quite reached everyone. Everyone knows about rape, and how it's bad, but sometimes some people need to hear every little detail to know how bad it really is. It makes you sick to think things like this have happened. But this is what Eve Ensler is trying to stop. She wrote the Vagina Monologues to help stop the violence and abuse toward women. She wants everyone to be aware of these things and take it seriously, and not just shove matters aside with little details.
