III Night

Question 1

CH.7 Escapism

Answer 1

‘The night is mine, my own time’ (Shows the reader even if the society attempts to control every aspect of control that the humans have, the inherent human nature will always find a way to rebel and seek control over their own life. ‘My’= determiner

‘Where should i go?’ (Very concerning that she is essentially manipulating herself as a way to suppress the control that the regime has on her)

Question 2

CH7. Flashback to burning magazines

Answer 2

‘How old was I?’ (Repetition of the question shows the fading memories, re configuration of individual experiences
‘But the fire drew me back—Fire can do that’ (idea that June is easily controlled?)

Question 3

CH.7 Offred daughter leaving

Answer 3

‘You killed her, I said. She looked like an angel, solemn, compact, made of air’

Question 4

CH.7 Metafiction/unreliable narrator

Answer 4

‘I would like to believe this is a story I’m telling. I need to believe it. I must believe it’ (‘must’=imperative, shows the gravity of which it’s paramount that she can believe herself as other wont believe her)

‘If its a story I’m telling, then i have control over the ending’ (link to 1984, ‘Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past’)
