In the Handmaid’s Tale, we see how society and man fight. In this narrative, like in the Bible’s traditional version, “man” is not gender-neutral. The stories of Nick and Offred, Commanders, are a few examples of some of the social problems humans can face. The mechanisms that govern social behavior seem to influence these individuals. Offred and Commander share a close relationship based on cultural norms and politics in which women can be expected to serve as Commander’s reproductive aids. Offred, on the other hand is having a private meeting with Nick. This conflict arises out of the tension between satisfying one’s own needs and fulfilling the needs others. Offred is in love with Nick and will travel to visit him freely (Atwood 2006). But, because she has an arrangement with Commander that is supported by the community and is not allowed to have passionate conversations, Offred is afraid. Offred is forced to choose between her pleasure and the society’s.
In the text, you will see scenarios that reflect those who were rated Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Nyozi Adichie. Adichie (2012) examines patriarchal societies’ portrayals of women. As a society, men assign women attributes. The problem with this is that the masculine perspective of women who live in such cultures does not allow them to access feminine attributes, and they must be able to adapt to their male counterparts.
It is important to address the concern that vulnerable people, like women, will choose unanimity in order to avoid conflict, seek their pleasure, and build disorderly communities.
