| Why must one heroine suffer at the expense of another? Esther and Vashti did what they had to do in a world where you couldn`t just pack your bags, go to college or get a waitressing job. Yes, Esther grew up quickly and risked her life to save her people. And yes, she used the bedroom. Vashti risked her life by refusing to parade in the nude for strangers. Until then she`d probably done her bedroom duties like Esther, and like all the concubines in the palace (don`t tell me there weren`t any of those) So have things changed so much? The bottom line is: Somtimes a girl`s gotta do what a girl`s gotta do. |
