Response of The Handmaid's Tale

            The Handmaid's Tale

  The Handmaid's Tale (1985) is a dystopian novel, a work of speculative fiction, by 

Canadian author Margaret Atwood. Set in the near future, in a totalitarian Christian 

theocracy which has overthrown the United States government, The Handmaid's Tale 

explores themes of women in subjugation and the various means by which they gain 

agency.

  The Handmaid’s Tale part one include four sections, Night, Shopping, Night, Waiting room.

When the book begins, the narrator, whose real name we never learn, is being held with other women in an old school gym. We later find out this is called the Women's Center. When we see her again, she's been working for five weeks as a Handmaid. The house where she works is run by a married Commander, whom the narrator must have sex with on a regular basis, in a standard Ceremony, in an attempt to become pregnant and provide the household with a child. The narrator has one uniform, assigned tasks, and very little freedom. She's confined to her room except for the times where she can go out, supervised, to do shopping or go to prescribed events.

  After reading the part one of The Handmaid’s Tale. I seem to find a loneliness, lonely, pitiful woman. She is a handmaid but the mainly task of her is birth for influential officials. She can't get enough respect from others and she can't have a freedom life even if when she go outside to shopping, there is another handmaid to monitor her. Although her task is birth, she still isn't to be satisfied. In her inner, she want to contact with others even have sex with others.
