The Vagina Monologue: Humorous And Expressive Video

The Vagina Monologue was humorous and expressive video. It spoke on how a woman feels about her vagina, and what makes a vagina a vagina. Eve is the speaker. She starts off with listing the dubbed names of vagina. I feel this part is to help the audience understand that this is all about the vagina and that it goes by many names. Her first monologue was hair. It explain that this women did not like to shave the hair off her vagina because of the uncomfortable feeling she would get. Sometime in this women’s life she found out her husband has been cheating on her, so they went to counseling. The counselor recommended that the woman conform to her husband’s wish, to have her vagina shaved, so he would not cheat on her. She did as the counselor said but he still cheated. In the end, the woman learned that conforming to ones wishes to make another happy was not acceptable and does not always lead to their desired outcome. Eve told this story in a way that made
it humorous to the audience by using an accent and engaging the audience. This monologue would be one of my favorite monologues because it was relayed humorously and descriptively, and gave a lesson that you should not try to change what is natural unless you are comfortable doing so. Another monologue that I found that I liked was “Because he liked to look at it.” This monologue was about a man who loved vaginas. What I liked most about this monologue was how it gave the women confidence. The women started out with no confidence because she could love her own vagina. Seeing that he loved her vagina, made her feel the same way he did. It got her to love herself because someone desired her. Other things I liked the monologue was the idea to be proud and to love yourself. A lot of women struggle with loving themselves because of how much they are criticized. I feel if more men loved a women’s vagina and didn’t criticize it so much or try to change like the first monologue then more women would be confident in themselves. The most uncomfortable monologue to watch would have to be the one about the moans and orgasms. She would express the different types of moans a women makes. I found it interesting but at the same time disturbing. To me, orgasms or moans are personal experience and exploiting it in that way made it sound ridiculous. I personally would not know what kinds of moans are made in bed, so it was educational. Even though it was educational, the fact that moan are intimate made it uncomfortable. I have listed three of the many monologues that were relayed in the video.
These three were either my favorites or most uncomfortable monologues. The first was hair. I liked it because it was comical and taught a lesson. Then I went on to mention another favorite of mine, which was the monologue about self-esteem. I favored it because of how the story expressed that a women’s vagina was beautiful. It also got me to start liking my own vagina. After that, I explained that the most uncomfortable monologue was the piece about the different types of moans or orgasms. It was uncomfortable because the piece was intimate. Overall the Vagina monologues was a great show. I enjoyed it because it went over all the parts that makes a vagina a vagina, such as sex, orgasms, menstruation, self-esteem, rape, and child birth. In fact the monologue about the child birth was expressed beautifully. It made the vagina a beautiful thing, where lives are born. In conclusion, watching this video fueled me with more pride over my
vagina.
