The Questions in "The Vagina Monologues"

     In "The Vagina Monologues" the author asks a variety of women different questions like "What would your vagina wear?" to hear different responses to better understand women and there view of themselves.
Answers to this question included "A beret, A leather jacket, silk stockings"  These are normal articles of clothing that could symbolize that maybe some women see there vagina like another body part that is dressed like those parts would be.  Other answers include, "A tattoo, ermine and pearls, sequins, emeralds, an evening gown"  This might be pointing out that some women view their vagina's as special.  It is deserving of all these jewels and fancy things to wear.  It is a precious part of the body.  One of the answers sticks out among the rest however and that is, "an electrical shock device to keep unwanted strangers away" Could this be the voice of those who have been abused and violated "down there"?  I think so.  This answer I think represents those who have been mistreated and have been through the horrific events of rape, mutilation, and etc.
     The other question mentioned is "If your vagina could talk what would it say?"  A lot of these answers had a sexual meaning like "More please, lets play, yes there, there" but there were also a lot of other answers that were kind of surprising.  For example, "Where's Brian?" could this be a husband that doesn't show affection anymore?  Is it someone who has not had intimacy with there husband for a while because of there insecurities?  Who knows, but I think it is representing a lot of women who feel this way in their lives.  Another example is "brave choice".  What does this mean?  Who made a brave choice and what could it be?  Someone who ran away so they weren't abused or mutilated?  Someone who ran away with a love because it was forbidden in some shape or form?  Another one is "enter at your own risk?"  How does this person feel about her vagina?  She must think it in a negative light.  Some women really can't appreciate the fact of having a vagina and really think it is a dirty thing.  Could this be the voice of women who are insecure and are put down by society?
     I think Eve Ensler posed these questions not only to get people talking about their vagina's for her monologues, but also to hear the voices of a variety of women and the best way to do that is to pose open ended questions that everyone can answer.  She is hearing from all different voices which was initially what she was going for.  She wanted a collective amount of different people and wanted to find similarities and differences between women and their answers.  I think she succeeded in doing that.
