End of chapter 6

21
Q

‘I would like to believe this is a story I’m telling…

A

‘I would like to believe this is a story I’m telling. I need to believe it. I must believe it. Those who can believe that such stories are only stories have a better chance. If it’s a story I’m telling, then I have control over the ending. Then there will be an ending, to the story, and real life will come after it. I can pick up where I left off’
(family, reader, story, inner state. Horror of Gilead day by day. Telling story is a rebellion. Story gives her ‘control over the ending’ + hope for the future. Denies Gilead control over inner life)
End chapter 7.

PAGE 29 CH 13

A 
'I used to think of my body as an instrument, of pleasure, or a means of transportation, or an implement for the accomplishment of my will . . . Now the flesh arranges itself differently. I’m a cloud, congealed around a central object, the shape of a pear, which is hard and more real than I am and glows red within its translucent wrapping' 
Chapter 13 
(before body was extension of her self, now herself no longer matters. Dehumanising)

Q

‘He was not a monster, to her. Probably had some…

A

‘He was not a monster, to her. Probably he had some endearing trait: he whistled, offkey, in the shower, he had a yen for truffles, he called his dog Liebchen and made it sit up for little pieces of raw steak. How easy it is to invent a humanity, for anyone at all. What an available temptation (Chapter 24)

A

‘But there is something missing in them, even the nice ones’ ‘A man is just a women’s strategy for making other women’ (Atwood critical of feminism shutting out men and Moria admires her mother reflecting this her character as well. Presents lesbianism as a political choice)

28
Q

‘From each according to her ability…

A

‘From each according to her ability; to each according to his needs’, ‘it was from the bible’ ‘St Paul again’. But no this is a Karl Marx comment and its ‘his’ not ‘her’ > its socialism which very far from Gilead which highlights Gilead scriptural emphasis being more about control than faith as a theocracy!!!
