"Angry Vagina"

I first want to start this blog by saying that my fellow classmate (I apologize for not remembering your name) I am sorry I missed your stage performance because she did an awesome job performing in class.

After reading this particular monologue myself, (before being performed), I did not quite feel that strong emotion behind the monologue. At first I felt a bit uncomfortable reading it, then to hear it read out loud none the less in a classroom, I felt even more uncomfortable, but after listening to it, I mean really listening to it I could see and feel the strong emotion behind the monologue. Ensler really capture the angry from the author toward everything that seemed to affect her “vagina” and feelings toward her vagina. I think that Ensler felt she needed to write this monologue with such emotion because she was trying to get her point across because many women are feeling the same emotion but are to embarrass to speak up.  In some ways many women can relate to this particular monologue, even if they might not want to omit their feelings.  For example, Ensler writes about, how women have to attend “doctor’s” appointments, “Why the Nazi steel stirrups, the mean cold duck lips they shove inside you,” (Ensler, 71). With this particular passage most women can relate to because all women have experienced this awkwardness in some way. Though most women might find this particular monologue offense, uncomfortable, and awkward, some might find it humorous. Like previously stated, Ensler definitely uses anger behind this monologue, but after one listens to it and see it performed they can see the humor behind it as well. Throughout the book Ensler uses a varied of emotions; some might relate to a particular passage or monologue, well others might find her work offense and something that should not be written about.
