What kind of society would it be if women in this world were abandoned by the development of society and forced to become mobile wombs, reproductive organs of rich people, frogs boiled in warm water? "The Handmaid's Tale" is set against the backdrop of a dystopia. In a republic called "Gilead", infertility has become the norm. The country of Gilead gathers fertile women for population security. Together, they carried out strict correctional education, and were then distributed to the upper-class families to produce children for them. These women were called "handmaids". All the maids became the assets of the country, and each maid had her own number. "That scene was horrific, unspeakable horror, a smell of iron dust, like a carpenter driving a nail, making a mark on the ear". The plot is very absurd, but it is also very real. The gloomy tone that makes the fans especially nervous makes them breathless. The treatment of the maid is particularly bad, and she will be electrocuted if she does not obey the instructions of the probation. If you talk about free speech together, you will be reported by countless "eyes" who will use different torture tools to extract confessions and hang them. What's even more terrifying is that many behaviors are restricted, such as a finger will be chopped off once reading a book, an entire palm will be chopped off twice or more, and an eye will be gouged out when looking at the upper class. It was under this cruel and severe punishment and education that most of the maids succumbed and accepted their fate as maids. The task of the maid is to hold a "fertilization ceremony" with the male host once a month. The host will recite the stories about Rachel and Leah in the Bible, and then let the maid lie down between the legs of the hostess, and the host will be led by the host. After the fertilization is completed, it is particularly incredible, and the hostess and the maid serve one husband together. Since the hostess was infertile, in order to prosper for the society, she asked the maid to share the room with her husband instead of her to obtain the child's interest. In the country of Gilead, fertility has always been regarded as the only goal of life, and it is pursued at all costs. The Bible records that a sentence Rachel said was to say to the host, "Give me children or else I die." ("Give me children or else I die."), which is exactly what Fred recited in the play. one. Under the cruel and severe punishment and education, most of the maids became like walking dead. At the end of the plot, the maids saw a glimmer of hope. How should they resist the injustice in society?
