Control, and the need to subjugate individuals is at the heart of dystopian literature. Naturally, as a result of this control and constant oppression, rebellion is evident. Gileadean society runs on a strict social hierarchy in which only those at the top are given rights and freedoms such as being able to read and write. As is known, in any society there will be weak links and there will be rebellion. We see this prominently when Offred and the Commander have their first evening together. As…

“Scientists from the universities of Sheffield and Warwick in Great Britain used a super-computer to find a protein that is required for the development of the shell. This protein, ovovledidin-17 (OC-17), is found in the ovaries of chickens. No shell can be made without the ovaries, no egg without the chicken, and so we arrive at the solution to our mystery: the chicken came before the egg.” In my opinion this explanation, “The chicken came before the egg”, is indisputably the case. This opens a…
