Women And Women In The Handmaid's Tale By Margaret Atwood

To begin with, the Handmaids are unfortunate women whose existence depends on their fertility. They lose all of their personal possessions, families, memories, and finally identities. They are renamed according to their relation to men and they must wear the same uniform, as they are objects

Women are the main sufferers in the society which Atwood pictures, the Republic of Gilead and her vision of this society reveals many of the inequalities and abuses faced by women all over the world in the past and in the current world.

Not because she doesn’t like it, but because it makes her lose her identity and value because the environment in which she lives classified her as something she doesn’t want to be just because of her body. In the book “The Handmaid’s Tale” the author, Margaret Atwood portrays women in a futuristic society that in a way revolves around women. Not the feminist way that women would want however, but these women are told and obligated to be happy for what they have. The society the book is written in see women as property even though they have an important role in this book. Women have different roles and titles in this new society and some are based on their physical attributes.

With this, some of their rights were being violated and those rights are slowly starting to perish. Pan’s Labyrinth is one of Guillermo Del Toro’s greatest masterpiece and it shows the reality about how unfair and cruel society can treat women. This movie depicts that society can do a lot of things that can hurt a woman’s dignity but it also showed us what a true woman is and what are they really capable of doing. In the movie, there are three main female characters in the story namely Ofelia, Carmen and Mercedes.

A Definition of Justice Equality is the well-known problem faced by women. It is the issue of how women have been treated differently from men who act as if they have a higher social position. Besides the equality issue, there is another problem faced by many women: mental abuse at home. The husbands are not literally abuse their wife, but how they act have made their wives live in agony. Subsequently, when the women as the oppressed party who have been treated unequally cannot demand such abuse to be punished since it is not written in man’s law, they will seek their own justice.

Even after John Proctor confesses about his sin in act III, this only adds to Abigail’s loathsome personality. Seventeen centuries later, the female part of the society still bears the heavy weight of the original sin. In such world, where the women are

ABSTRACT This paper is an analysis of the feministic aspectof Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s Chronicle of a Death Foretold. Feminism is a crusade, which has some aim and dogmas, where a feminist seeks equal political, economic, cultural, personal and social rights for women. The storyhere provides feminists a rich ground in which one can explore the codes of sexual morality that the townspeople of Columbia reluctantly uphold. The portrayal of female characters in the novel shows their submissive nature and how often they have been exploited and forced to go against their free will just for the sake of false family honour and society.

This society where women like Offred are forced to adapt this so call society, is Gilad. Supposedly a fictional society, it filled with dominating white men and enslaves white women that are fertile to become surrogates. Unfortunately, this life style hand out as many choices as a poor woman in the modern day receive, barely any.   Many agree to this view of the Gilad, especially a feminist and a mother of three. She goes by the name ‘Glosswitch’ her stumble upon Justin Humphry an anti-choice republican calling pregnant women by the name ‘host’, which gave her an uncanny resemblance to Atwood choices of words.

In both novels the double standards in society are notable, as women always take the blame and were punished for the same actions that men partook in regularly. Both authors cleverly expose the hypocrisy and double standards in society through the portrayal of their female protagonists. In Hardy’s novel, the double standards of society greatly affect Tess’s life experience. Tess was expected to work, marry, and support her family as she was the eldest daughter.

In the novel The Handmaid 's Tale by Margaret Atwood, an idea of the future is shown through a dystopian society in which women are solely used for their ability to procreate as they are to please men. Men, needless to say, also have some restrictions they have to comply with, but in this dystopian society, as one would expect, women have it the worst. Yet people are just accepting what society tells them to do. And accepting what society wants you to, leads to the lack of fulfillment in life as shown through the novel’s flashbacks towards the narrator 's memorable past, and through the narrator 's interior dialogue. Women had to give up everything they had pursued in their lives to end up in the lives of those who then owned them.

In any case, the more radical "ladies ' freedom" development was resolved to totally topple the patriarchy that they accepted was persecuting each feature of ladies ' lives, including their private lives. They advanced the thought that "the individual is political" that ladies ' political imbalance had similarly imperative individual consequences, enveloping their connections, sexuality, conception prevention and fetus removal, attire and self-perception, and parts in marriage, housework and childcare. In that capacity, the diverse wings of the women 's activist development looked for ladies ' uniformity on both a political and individual level. When these partitions were joined with a hesitance to pick official pioneers for the development, it gave the media an opening to anoint its own "women 's activist pioneers," prompting hatred inside of the

“Now piercèd is her virgin zone; she feels the foe within it. She hears a broken amorous groan, the panting lover 's fainting moan, just in the happy minute”(Jon W.). Women are raised in a battlefield; they are taught to rely on men to protect them because they cannot protect themselves. This is an insult to many women everywhere, and it is a problem with society. If women were portrayed and viewed more independent, we could change the world we live in.
