Sometimes I think about what happened two or three hundred years ago. The so-called innovation or conservativeness at that time might just be reversed from the current perspective. I rewatched the first season of The Handmaid these days and saw a lot of irony. The Mayflower brought the first batch of new immigrants to North America. With the advancement of production and development, the conflicts between the colonies of the New World and the British monarchy became more and more serious in terms of taxation and many management levels, which triggered the subsequent War of Independence. When the innovators raised their flag, the royalists went north to Canada. In The Handmaid's Tale, the New World that pursues extreme traditions emerges from New England, and the paradise in the hearts of those who try to escape is Canada. In Canada, women, blacks and all kinds of people will have independent human rights and live independently. Reality and ideal, reality and history, so there are references and contrasts. new day new life
