Is 'The Handmaid's Tale' based on Real Life?
Despite being situated in a totalitarian dystopia, The Handmaid’s Tale is entirely science fiction. The dystopian tale is steeped in political and religious history in almost every regard. The author, Margaret Atwood, has spoken extensively about how she got inspiration for the word of Gilead and the tragedies that took place there. More than thirty years after its publication, the book’s historical roots are one of the most significant factors why it still resonates with readers today. Numerous publications have praised the novel as being “timely” and “prescient”, meaning that the system of Gilead is strikingly comparable to current events. Some people, like Yvonne Strahovski, have even gone to the extent to say that Gilead, a dystopian society in which women are forbidden from reading, Handmaids are given names like “Offred” to identify them as male property, an dissenters are put to death, feels uncomfortably “close to home” in modern-day America. “The Handmaid’s Tale is scary because it’s true”, as one television critic put it. The novel acts as a portrait of human spirit imprisoned in a dehumanizing circumstance and a representation of the dismal, paranoid reality of dictatorship, The Handmaid’s Tale is compelling and potent. In Gilead, women and girls do not have access to the same education as their male counterparts - even to the extent that females are prohibited from reading at all. Educational inequality happens all around the world everyday, but in Tanzania this inequality is sanctioned by the law. For the last 59 years, Tanzania has had a discriminatory ban that denies pregnant school girls their right to education. In the last 8 years, this ban has been reinforced by various political pronouncements. It prohibits girls from accessing education, not just for the duration of their pregnancy but even after it too. In Tanzania, literacy rates have dropped over 20 percent in recent years and more than 55,000 girls have been banned from attending school because of pregnancy in the past decade alone. Survivors of sexual violence are being further traumatized by lawmakers who are making them pay for someone else’s crime with their futures.
