Layton Williams, Audience Engagement Editor for Sojo.net, conducted an interview with the author of the Handmaidens Tale; Margrett Atwood, to gain a deeper insight to her novel and its meaning.

It argues that issues of feminism and gender are central to the novel and women are the main victims in the society which Margrett Atwood conceived. This idea was explored in five different sections vital to the theme of gender in the novel, which serve to construct a report styled article. These ranged from open minded feminism to gender and language, with no other concepts or themes explored besides those underlying the gender theme. The language used is articulate and crisp, where the author is able to express their ideas concerning gender clearly and effectively. The article tells readers that Atwood is renowned for her feminist views which are explored within her novel.

The writing incorporated was conversational, using words such as “whodunit”, connecting to the readers on a conversational level, allowing the article to flow well through the simplicity of disregarding formal vocabulary.

She focuses on how the play makes one “rethink their life” in addition to making a comparison to past cases of Church scandals, complimenting the realistic nature of the play to these events. This comparison was unique as no other articles related to real life events. The vlog was written in late 2009, almost five years after the first performance which indicates the it was likely swayed by the reviews of other critics, reducing its reliability as a genuine review. Despite this, the easy to read post provides a detailed response from a different perspective of the play Doubt. Although, her analysis and conclusions may differ to that of other’s, specifically
