The Handmaid’s Tale Topic Proposal


I have many questions about Atwood’s book. There are many things I do not understand about the book.


The way I saw Atwood’s situation was her being a slave. I understand their country is at war and things are much different, but I don’t understand why the females were treated the way they were. I don’t understand how they based their rules alone the bible. I am a Christian and I don’t think the bible could possibly influence these laws and rules.


I would like the base my research on feminist and female rights, and also research this war and time to get a better understanding of my question. I am also going to dig more into the religion see what the relation is to the laws in The Handmaid’s Tale.
