Summary
The Handmaid's Tale
Dystopie poignante, empathie pour le personnage principal, narration interne

« Ordinary, is just what you are used to. This may not seem ordinary to you now, but after a time it will. It will become ordinary » « A man is just a woman’s strategy for making other women » « It’s lack of love we die from » « But remember that forgiveness too is a power. To beg for it is a power, and to withhold or bestow it is a power, perhaps the greatest » « You can only be jealous of someone who has something you think you ought to have yourself » « Don’t let the bastard grind you down » « The moment of betrayal is the worst, the moment when you know beyond any doubt that you’ve been betrayed: that some other human being has wished you that much evil » « Oh God, King of the universe, thank you for not creating me a man » « Freedom, like everything else, is relative »
