Vagina Monologues Question #1

I believe that Eve Ensler purposefully wrote this as a play and wanted it to be performed because as an audience people would get a lot more out of it than just reading it themselves.  The difference between reading the monologues and watching them be performed is when you are physically there, the play is made up of real people which creates more of an emotional bond to the actors and can reach people more deeply.  Also if the play is performed that means many people are there watching it which promotes more awareness to the subjects being portrayed.  She wants vaginas to be performed not only to promote awareness but also to really draw a picture for the audience.  When people read things the concepts are not quite as vivid because some things are left up to interpretation, but during plays everything is presented in front of the audience causing everyone to be on the same page for the lack of a better word.  The physical performance changes people's views on how they see and think about vaginas in the sense that people will now see them as more of a woman's body part, or something women have to deal with all the time, rather than thinking of them as something that we are forbidden to talk about because it is too personal.  The point is there is no such thing as too personal when a large portion of society has to deal with the same thing.
