Hello all,
Looking forward to seeing you all tonight (those of you who are about)....
Questions for the Handmaiden's Tale
1) Conversation in this book has no speech/quotation marks, but speeches do. In what way does this effect the tone of conversations in the book?
2) Do you think Luke's response to the take over and money transfer was complacent? Why?
3) How possible is it that this dystopian future could actually occur? Do you see any parallels in current times?
4) Is objectivity really necessary when studying the Gileadeans? Is it okay to take an academic view point and not take a moral judgement on other cultures?
5) Do you think the mating ritual is rape? Why/Why not?
6) What do you think we have freedom to and freedom from currently? Is the distinction important?
7) Who has the 'best deal' - Wives, Aunts, Marthas, Handmaids, Econowives?
See you all tonight
