... The Handmaids Tale by
Margaret Atwood is set in the near future in the Republic of Gilead, formerly the United
States. ...
I went back to work
went back to work in Madame’s house
that same evening
and at the supper she yelled at me
and box me full in the face because
I overturned the gravy bowl in her lap (p 228)
The similarities of these women’s experiences makes a significant comment on the
realities of the past and possibly the not so far future , one in which the life of some is
owned by the others. ... She
spends all of her spare time , which is almost the whole day thinking only about two
things , the past and the possible ways that she can get back at the commander and his
wife,” I could burn down the house. ...
Cooper’s poem is trying to show people the societies of the past and the problems with
them so that the people will not make the same mistake again and Atwood’s book is
trying to show how the society is going to be in the future if people do not stand up
against the government’s bad decisions.
