multi-dimensional experience
This is a response that we supposed to write about what we actually learned from the play 30 Days in September by Mahesh Dattani. If we look this from a female point of view, this play is a very informative one. It actually teaches you about the cruelty of life and how dangerous life it is for women out there.
From my point of view, the play really makes me wonder how weird a woman can sometimes be. As a man, we usually view life in a simple yet practical way while women, do things in a very hard way, claiming that they did it carefully but instead, they do it foolishly.
This situation can be seen clearly by the two female characters in the play, Mala and her mother, Shanti. Both of them were raped by the same men when they were still young and innocent. Mala try to get over her sadness by being flirtatious with men and continue to hate her uncle while her mother, pretends that as if there’s nothing happen and carry on with her life by dedicating most of her time to her God. Why don’t they just report it to the police? But instead, make their life miserable by trying to ‘overcome’ the experience.
Some men do have this kind of sexual disorder that actually make them attract to small kids. There are also fetish people who like collecting women’s undergarments but, I can assure you that those people are only a minority. We men are not stupid, besides, what’s the point of smelling other people’s underwear?
Lastly, the play really makes me think that woman should be more careful in whatever they did. We never know what awaits us out there so be alert. Don’t trust people with all your heart and please, be more sensible in whatever you did. Think before you act!
