I think the key messages to this play are that beauty can be anything and if even though you have people commenting you on how you look you shouldn't feel down. Like in the scene of Wanda saying that they need to take her breasts away because she has a tumor growing and her reaction was amazing. She did not want them taken away and in the world now a day’s people think beauty as having big breasts or big butts.
That beauty is different kinds of beauty in our way that we look at beauty. She is also saying that when it comes to looking good just be yourself or maybe a lot of conflicts will come up because you are listening to what commercials are saying or other people are saying to you.
Well in the beginning they all worried about how they look but at the end they look at them selves at start to change and start being themselves. Like Forgiveness from Heaven, she has a husband that has a lot of wives and she thinks that beauty is from her toe. But when she calms down and her husband is away she just starts to be herself.
The function between those two is really funny and they like to have fun when it is really serious. Well she is making the health stuff in the play look like the people are to dramatic and they don't care about the person that they should be helping. Like when it comes to finding a cure they can't find it because they had to shut down the clinic. So there is even more conflicts coming down in the pharmaceutical industry.
I think it works well because the whole play was really interesting and that she is trying to tell all of us something on this play she wrote and the issues in the play are really good. It is really real how they find solutions to the problems they have in this play. This play is really realistic and it shows you in word that if you are trying to change yourself you should just be yourself and that is beauty to me. Like Wanda, if she didn't get implants she wouldn't have a tumor too remove her breasts. All women in the play have a different style of beauty in the play but at the end it comes down how they think of themselves because they all have problems in there life right now.
