The Handmaid's Tale, Part 1: Crash Course Literature 403Margaret Atwood s The Handmaid Tale - apologise
Series: Book 1 of the Handmaid's Tale Duology. Genres: Dystopia, Classics, Fiction, Adult. I feel that this is a type of book that needs to be analyzed and discussed as the chapters progress. The story is complicated, and not because the setting is complicated per say, but because there are so many meanings behind Atwood's words that it is sometimes difficult to understand the point that she is trying to make. The Handmaid's Tale is in truth a scary book because it talks about events that for us are "fantastical" "impossible. What I just read is a scary version of what life could be, a prediction of what governments we might have, and the mentality of some people in today's world. The Handmaid's Tale is a story of Offred. She is a Handmaid and her role in society is to breed children, however the child she births will never be her own. Margaret Atwood s The Handmaid Tale
Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read. She must lie aHndmaid her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if their ovaries are viable.
Offred can remember the years before, when she lived and made love with her husband, Luke; when she played with and protected her daughter; when she had a job, money of her own, and access to knowledge. But all of that is gone now.
