Margaret Atwood "Rape Fantasies"

From the Paper:

" Margaret Atwood's "Rape Fantasies" is an interesting mixture of stream-of-consciousness speculation and fiction, a short story with elements of non-fiction, a story and an essay combined. What makes the piece work as it does is the tone the author takes, a tone that maintains a sense of humor while having an underling sense of the importance of the issue. In the final analysis, the last line of the piece is what gives it its real poignancy and its strength, while everything that has gone before serves both to bolster the importance of the subject while poking some fun at the degree to which the media seems to have suddenly "discovered" it, as if prior to that it was not a problem at all.
The irony of the piece is inherent in its title. The use of the word "fantasies" coupled with the word "rape" leads to some misunderstanding in the story itself as the women playing cards.."
