Renee Nault\u2019s graphic novel interpretation of Margaret Atwood\u2019s <\/span>The Handmaid\u2019s Tale <\/em>is a look at a dystopian future that has remained fascinating to readers since the original book was published, inspiring both a movie and a current television series. 

While we are studying literary theory in this course, this book would particularly appear to lend itself to a Feminist reading. To avoid having everyone write the same paper, <\/span>you are to incorporate any of the literary theories we are studying EXCEPT Feminist theory<\/u><\/strong>.  Review the theories and choose one (1)  that you feel would make for the most interesting and edifying interpretation of this work. Take your time and plan your essay before you begin writing.

As you did with your essay on <\/span>Kindred<\/em>, interpret this work through a literary theory lens that addresses the specific goals and purpose the theory purports.  What does this theory offer in regards to interpretation that the others do not?  How does it help the reader see the book in a different and insightful manner?

The Handmaid\u2019s Tale<\/em>

Unfortunately, there are no page numbers in <\/span>The Handmaid\u2019s Tale<\/em>, though there are chapters.  When you cite from this graphic novel, cite the chapter number.  This is an interesting work in that Renee Nault did both the adaptation and the artwork.  A citation would look like this: (Nault Ch. 1).  As with ALL of the graphic novels you are reading, cite some of the artwork as well as <\/span>specific lines from the text<\/u><\/strong>.  Also, cite the artwork, which has a big impact on the story.<\/p>\n
