When we were thinking about this project during class, my first idea was to do The Handmaid's Tale and focus on chronology because I thought that was the craziest part of the novel. However, I realized that that would be too much like my dystopian project. My first idea would have been somehow showing what the reader goes through while reading the novel. Possibly with pictures?
This lead me to what I think will be my focus on the project, the different perspectives of the society and how people with different powers view it. Also, I can incorporate the different perspective the reader has as more information is given throughout the book because of how Offred narrates it. By doing this my topic could possibly be how power makes one see and handle life differently.
I can analyze the Commander and how he breaks the rules and yet he has so much power. He would never want to get caught however because his life is so fulfilling as it is right now. The two times of Handmaids that are in the novel would also be interesting to look at. The first Ofwarren and the second differ greatly, but is that only because Offred had not gotten to know the second one as well?
I could possibly show this by using a game of scrabble.
