In her Pulitzer-Prize winning play, ”How I Learned to Drive”, Paula Vogel dramatizes not only the trauma of incest and sexual abuse but also the lessons that the main character can learn from the traumatic experience. By enacting Li'l Bit's memory, Vogel enables the audience to bear witness Li'l Bit's traumatic past and the process of her trauma healing. Forgiveness, as the play shows us, is the major component of her healing process. Moreover, Vogel emphasizes the lesson that Li'l Bit can learn from her painful experience. Li'l Bit’s traumatic experience is the initiation of her sexual awakening. The play shows us Li'l Bit's transformation from an object of sexual desire to a subject of desire.
