Margret Atwood uses language to show many factors in the novel the “The Handmaids Tale”. In the Gilead age power was wanted be everyone. Which lead people to do anything for power. Women were deprived of their freedom, making language the means of escape. This novel was portrayed from a young woman's life named Offred. Living in Gilead dealing with various restrictions towards women. With this mindset of society different roles were set for women. Offred was a handmaid who is the carrier of children. Language is limited and they are not allowed to use any words regarding freedom.
Atwood's language throughout the novel was vague. She expresses so many different kinds of emotions and variety
