** spoiler alert **
The main premise of Speak assumes Melinda's inability to utilize her voice (and publicly accuse her attacker) compounds the consequences of her sexual assault. But Romy DOES utilize her voice, only to find herself in the same position as Melinda: isolated & broken. So, the message is: speak. Or not. The result is the same.
In All the Rage, the bystanders also find themselves in a situation that mimics Melinda's: now they have to utilize THEIR voices and actually DO SOMETHING to avenge this injustice. But that would just be too complicated, right? It would be so. much. easier. to just deny the account of the poor girl from a trashy family than hold the sheriff's son accountable for his actions. And so it goes...
Speak empowers the targets of sexual abuse to find their voices. All the Rage challenges the rest of us to do the same.
