    Language in The Handmaid’s Tale For centuries‚ “the pen is mightier than the sword” has been the adage du jour. Words do more damage than swords‚ spreading ideas instead of killing people. One dangerous little idea‚ passed among individuals‚ does more damage than any blade could ever do; few armies can hold out against strong ideas. In the state of Gilead‚ words mean everything‚ and they have the ultimate power. The women in Margaret Atwoods’ dystopian novel The Handmaid’s Tale have very limited avenues
