You may write more than 2 pages, but you must write at least 2full pages.While Formal Paper 3 should focus primarily on an analysis of Margaret Atwood’s TheHandmaid’s Tale, you may reference our other course readings if it helps you support orillustrate an argument about the Atwood’s novel.
Choose one of the following questions:
• Unlike the earlier texts in our course, The Handmaid’s Tale is by a female writer and features afemale protagonist. How does this contribute to our understanding and broaden our perspective of literary representations of dystopia?
• How does the theocracy in Gilead explain and justify its patriarchal authoritarian control overpeople, and how does it put it into practice? How does it change the lives of women, such asOffred, who remember life before the theocracy?
