Scene Summary and Context Guide
In Margaret Atwood's 'The Handmaid's Tale,' the story unfolds in a dystopian future where society has drastically changed. Women have lost many of their rights, and the government enforces strict rules through a theocratic regime. The protagonist, Offred, navigates a world filled with surveillance, restricted freedoms, and rigid social roles. The narrative explores themes of power, control, and resistance. A notable phrase from the text is 'Nolite te bastardes carborundorum,' a mock Latin phrase meaning 'Don't let the bastards grind you down.' This phrase symbolizes the subtle resistance among the oppressed characters. The story is set against a backdrop of environmental decline, political upheaval, and societal collapse, reflecting fears about the future of society if such oppressive systems take hold. The novel uses symbolic language and emphasizes the loss of identity and autonomy experienced by its characters, highlighting the dangers of extremism and authoritarianism.
