'Mopes' and 'goes to a club'? She's basically a slave who will be killed if she doesn't behave and *have babies*. You are very, very confused.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, and you would expect some real anger or feeling over that. Instead, we're given an emotional depth that is akin to teenage moping. No real action, thought, or feeling is portrayed at such a situation. It made the whole premise decidedly unbelievable, almost like breaking the fourth wall. We're really supposed to believe that's she some oppressed slave? She doesn't even seem to believe it, so why should we?

[tabaqui]

Oh, i dunno, 'cause she has no other options, she's suicidally depressed and has no way to escape or change her life?

If you hated the book, that's fine, but trivializing what the character faced is kinda dumb.

The Bell Jar shows depression well. The Handmaid's Tale does not. She's suicidally depressed? News to me. Atwood couldn't even get that across. Sylvia Plath's protaganist was faced with less obstacles and she still managed to get the reader to give a fuck about her and understand how she was feeling.

[tabaqui]

You're aware that 'The Bell Jar' is based heavily on Ms Plath's own life, right? And that the main character is basically her?

And you're also aware that the simple fact that your dislike of 'The Handmaid's Tale' doesn't *actually* make it as horrible as you think it does?

Maybe your reading comprehension is bad, as I didn't have to struggle to understand what was going on with THT's main character.

Frankly, i'm quite tired of this conversation - you hated THT - go you. I didn't. Feel free to get in the last snarky word, i'm done.
