'The Woman Who Walked Into Doors'

The monologue 'the woman who walked into doors' portrays a woman who is faced with physical abuse and is desperate for it to end. Her desperation is shown by the repetitive nature of the monologue repeatedly saying 'ask me' especially in the last three sentences, they show a triplet 'Ask me. Ask me. Ask me.' this highlights her despair, want to get it out and discomfort from keeping it all in, this also shows that that is what she desperately wants and thinks about a lot. The constant repitition causes the reader to start to feel her desperation and an almost anger that the doctors aren't doing as she wants.

The monologue also short sentences throughout the whole monologue: 'Ask. No. Ask me.' This could show she can't think straight and the desperation is causing her thoughts to go from one to another. The bluntness of the short sentences causes a bigger emotional impact making the reader immediately feel sorry for her.

The concrete noun 'curtain' is used. She talks about being 'behind the right curtain' by using the word 'right' she could mean that she wants to be behind a curtain in the doctors as they talk to her about the constant abuse  she is on the recieving end to - 'the right curtain' -  rather than hiding it away with 'curtain' being a metophorical interpretation of hiding something.

In the monologue a lot of imperatives are used 'ask me about it' this could show that she needs to have some power and control over someone/something as in her day to day life she lacks that. It could also show her anguish over the fact they are not asking so she feels the need to tell them to so she can let it out. Another imperative used is 'look at the burn' this again shows her wanting control and power but also a slight confusion as to why they haven't seen it and asked about it.
