Sažetak
In Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel The Handmaid’s Tale, Offred is a heroine only in the sense of being the main character of the story. Although she is the only female protagonist among dystopias that have established the genre (We, Brave New World, and 1984), Offred is relegated to passive survival in the patriarchal theocracy of Gilead, which negates her mind and body in all aspects except for proxy childbearing. By contrast, the novel’s TV adaptation by Hulu (2017–) shows an altered female protagonist, who is no longer simply “Of Fred.”
