Catgut

               For some reason, this story, or short story, just felt like...a story that the writer didn't want to take pity on the victim. The victim is this Dr. Lejaret, she works as a doctor or on the farm and usually women, or women in stories, usually seem weak or seem stuck up and don't want to do the work. Not in this case. Lejaret does the work and all. I am going to skip over all the beginning stuff and get to the part where she is raped. Not because the subject is a great one to talk about, but it's unusually the way the author wrote it.

From the sense I got of Dr. Lejaret was not an over emotional person, or someone who was very attached to things. I almost feel like that she had some emotional issues. 

           But putting all that a side wouldn't you think if you got raped by a group of guys, not only raped but raped in a brutal way, that they pinned you against an ice-cold tank in the dairy and they smashed you against some sort of pipe that broke your back, that you would feel degraded, victimized, or a total mess. You would think that the character in the story, Dr. Lejaret, would feel that way, but no. After the guys raped her and it was all done, one of the guys, Billebaudes, tried to make a joke of it or try to minimize the rape by saying, “So, uh, doctor, we’re just having a good time, right? We don’t usually get to joke around at our house, but you understand, that’s my brother-in-law there, Manu. This is his bachelor’s party, that right, Manu?”

              After he said that Lejaret just laughed a little and said sure sure. I would have been like ah no, and would have ran off crying and victimized. Not her, she administered each of them a dose of

Ketamine, because she didn’t want them moving around. She just took her time and put on some sterile gloves and cleaned them well with Betadine. Then, after she stretched out of the skin of the scrotum and with a surgical blade, she made a tiny incision, and took out testicles. After, she ligatured the epidermis and the vessel with catgut number 3.5. She than put all that back into the scrotum and made a suture. She even prided her self I felt like when she said that it was very clean work. Than she turned to who had telephoned her, he was the most virtual, and it was his house, after she turned to him, she grafted his balls just below his Adams apple.

             Thinking about what she all did, in a very serious manner, I think she with her being emotionless or lack of emotion, instead of running off crying or calling 9-1-1 on them, she took care of the revenge herself. She got her revenge the way that she felt was most deserved. To be honest, I do not feel bad for the guys. They raped her brutally and than didn't even say sorry. The guy just tried to make the rape sound not like a rap, just a “joke” or something.

             So honestly,  I think, if I had the tools in hand, or if they passed out, I probably would have killed them too, or at least would contemplate it, because rape is a terrible crime, and some crimes just goes under looked. I do not feel sorry for the guys. Do I feel a little pity for the women because she was raped yes, but that pity get's over clouded by the fact that she took revenge on the. They did something so brutal to her and she did something brutal to them. I know two wrongs don't make a right, and eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, but some rules need to be mended once and a while.

            I liked this story a lot, because it is not the usual rape kind of story. Dr. Lejaret took the the crime into her own hands. She didn't want for someone to help her.
