The story tells that in the future, the world will be severely polluted, the birth rate will plummet, and the women of Mi (mei) are forced to be the reproductive tools (walking wombs) of the ruling class. Hanging, lesbians have "perfect" wombs and can steal "lives". Everything is dominated by male-dominated armed violence. In order to reunite with her daughter, Offred endured the humiliation and endured it silently at the beginning, and then slowly became Mayday. A member of a private underground rebellion.
The social system is determined by the organization with the strongest armed force, followed by economic control, and finally by burning books and beating Confucians.
Disobey the rules and you get two things - freedom and death, and obey the rules and you get three things - despair, physical survival, and spiritual death.
Of all the absurd things, the most absurd is that some people take it for granted that these absurd things happen.
