Give elaborated differentiate for your answer - The Handmaids TaleWhat impressions have you formed of the narrator? How has Atwoodcreated these impressions? Give detailed evidence for your answerThe narrator of The Handmaids Tale is a woman who calls herselfOffred. This is not her reliable name, but a name that she has been givenby the particular husband and wife she is staying with. This makes thenarrator seem mysterious, and Atwood creates this impression by not relative us the narrators real name.From the actually out of the novel, Offred has given me the impressionthat she is sort of well educated by the way she speaks and expressesthings like the place in a face where the eye has been taken out.This type of simile, which she uses also, gives us the impression thatshe isnt very happy closely her surroundings because she is using knock-down-and-drag-out expressions and associating t hings, which be vatic to bequite pleasant to things that sound very disturbing and of a violentnature. Clouds like headless sheep, normally clouds be associatedwith bright soft marshmallows and pleasant things like that, but thenarrator sees the clouds in the sky as disturbing images. All of theway through the book she uses similes like this to discriminate normal envisioning objects or people. The smile of gunstock is the phrase she usesin chapter six, when she is describing the men, which are hanging onthe Wall. The phrase The smile of blood is referring to a stain ofblood which has seeped through the white cloth which is covering upthe mans face, and she is saying it appears to look like a smile whicha child has drawn. This seems disturbing because smiles are meant tore endue happiness in people, and she turns that happiness sinisterwith saying it is a smile made of blood. Also this phrase makes usthink just about why it would be a smile, rather than and unhappy face,becau se of him being dead. These violent associations certainlyindicates to us that the narrator is unhappy, and that is exactly whyAtwood created that quality about her, so that we know that Offred isnot happy about the situation she is in at all, and that she relatesto violence a lot of the time because she is used to visual perception violencegoing on around her.At the very start of the novel the narrator was continuously slippingin and out of the present tense, she would often talk in the past
