Room 2 Swing A Cat A Gileadean Society: Is it Fictitious or Not' As I was reading The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood, I first perceived it as a dystopian narrative about a world where unrealistic things take place. I believed that the events in the novel could never occur in our society. Now that I have completed the novel, I can’t help but think about our past and society today, only to compare and reveal the amount of similarities there actually are. The realism that some people have experienced or are experiencing what could be called a Gilead, is frightening in my eyes. The story of The Handmaid’s Tale, in great depth, is a good representation of all the wrongfulness of our world because it portrays the inequality and mistreatment of women, many racist beliefs and actions, and the issue of slavery. Today, there are places around the world where there are startling similarities of how women are mistreated in Atwood’s novel. Women in the Republic of Gilead are given little to no rights. They are to obey what the men tell them to do, or their Aunts. But even the Aunts get orders from the men. women, world, gilead, tale, society, slavery, men, countries, handmaid’s, blacks, babies, wife, republic, example, story, perfect, orders, one, novel, must, killed, issue, even, beliefs, because, another, about, whites, very, tell, similar, serve, reproduce, reason, racist
