For question on The Handmaid’s Tale, let’s talk about the ending, “Historical Notes”. Yes, this is part of the novel, and it is set in the future of the novel.
One of the big aspects of this ending is that it is taking post-colonial thought and expanding on it. What are some of the biggest changes you see from what is “normal” to us that is present in this future-academia world? Is it where the college is located? Is it the area of studies? Is it the name of the presenters?
If not that, then what about the ending of this novel? Does it make sense to you or is it too confusing? Is it denying you answers for plot to get you to question larger motives, or is just frustrating?
