MARGARET ATWOOD: THE HANDMAID'S TALE

Margaret Atwood's 1986 novel, The Handmaid's Tale offers a strongly feminist vision of "dystopia". It falls squarely with the twentieth century tradition of anti-utopian ordystopian novels, exemplified by classics like Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and George Orwell's 1984, and presents an imagined world or society that is not ideal, but instead is terryfing or restrictive. The present critical study is an attempt to unveil Gilead's treatment of women's sexuality through the traumatic experiences of the narrator-protagonist, offred. Shakti Batra has been Vice-principal, Dyal Singh College (University of Delhi), has also taught at the Kabul University and the University of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek.
