Top hat

This event while alone is not detrimental, will eventually carry dreadful consequences. O’Conner describes the grandmother’s attire elaborately. Riding in the rear seat with the children, she is dressed prim and proper from head to toe, even donning a hat with flowers. In her mind, this is how a lady should dress, and she is a “Lady.” The old woman’s viewpoint of her and her family’s status seems to be prominent and through her storytelling, she has ingrained this perspective on the children.…

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…

They were dressed identically as us with the black robes but differentiated themselves by not wearing a hat and wearing a blue satchel around their necks.
