Within the context of centuries of women's subjugation, the story seems to ask what the point is of having a body you do not get to control. It makes me think of hunger strikes in Abu Graib. The men characters are selfish and entitled, while the titular vegetarian has no voice in the story, but is there to rebel in the only way she can.
