Discussion Thoughts on the handmaids tale?

[+Enrique+]

Spoiler: briefly my opinion

initially I wasn't a fan of how it tries to paint christianity as something opressive.

But in reality this isn't what Atwood was trying to do.

It is clear that Gilead is a criticism of massive religous insitutions used as an excuse to control people. Such as the catholic church.

I think that there are some narrative choices that are hit or miss, for example I don't find the locations she paints to be particulary interesting. But all around it is definitely a well written, rich novel.

If you have read the book

or the sequel

or the tv show I guess

I would love to know what you think of it!
