On page 93, Offred is witness to Janine's confession of being raped. She doesn't comment o ...

They feared an unknown language that they had never heard before and could not understand. They feared rituals and ceremonies that seemed strange and suspicious. They feared a social unity of sharing and togetherness that they found alarming and ...

Religious ideas also surface as common themes. Bradstreet makes it clear that material and earthly possessions have no true worth, and for this reason, one should not become attached to them. On the contrary, Knight’s writing reflects the flair and care-free attitude of the independent woman that she was. Her narrative format allows her to comment and pass judgment on any of various things she encountered. She was a keen social obs ...

... is encouraged, and monogamy is discouraged. There is no room for love, or real emotional ties. John Savage does not agree with these ideas, but he fails to see the implications of loving others. In our society, love and sexual desire are the causes of murder, suicide, and rape. “Everyone belongs to everyone else�(pg.35). This is one of the many hypnopaedic messages that are repeated to the Fordians. It prevents them from feeling passion, desire, lust, jealousy, and true love. In absence of these feelings, they are free from emotional ties and have no reason to rape or murder someone because of inn ...

... same way he does. But he is there because the "white" recruiter told him that he could fly planes, and make America proud. He remembers the clash of his path between what the white man wanted and his path. Tayo became so entranced with the idea that the Japanese were like him that he started to put people he knew at home's faces on the Japanese soldiers. Tayo could not see the reason for killing the Japanese, and then when the soldier killed Rocky, it made his path split like a silk string to a spider's web, it went out in all directions. His mind snapped at that exact moment and went into "shell-shock". Tayo st ...
