TW: rapeI have been a fan of Vonnegut for a long time and have adored many of his works including Slaughterhouse 5, Cat's Cradle, Player Piano, and The Sirens of Titan. However, Welcome to the Monkey House is seriously disappointing. In the titular short story, Vonnegut is glorifying corrective rape. I've seen some folks saying that it's because of the time it was written and that he's not actually glorifying rape. These takes only contribute to rape culture. The story was literally first published in PLAYBOY.Vonnegut never even uses the term rape, he instead refers to it as "deflowering," despite the fact that the female protagonist literally is held down by eight people with a gun pointed to her head. He writes about rape victims being grateful in the end. The rapist says that he wished it could be done in another way and that he doesn't enjoy it, but that doesn't make him into a hero, it's simply an excuse. Billy is still a rapist, regardless of his intentions. Vonnegut writes about rape as if it's liberating for women, that women secretly want to be raped. He never condemns Billy's actions and instead describes him as having a shy smile and such, as if we are supposed to like Billy. Also, Billy only rapes women despite men also being given the same pills that eliminate sexual desire.I get that Vonnegut's writing is not meant for the faint of heart, but this is different from crass humor. It's extremely messed up to give Vonnegut a pass for this as he was someone who was able to critique war and capitalism and he should be able to recognize that rape is not okay either.
