Abstract

Themes approached by literature can be visualized in society, whether incorporated into a real or dystopian setting, such as Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. First published in 1985, this book addresses women’s lives after a coup d’état that established a totalitarian and fundamentally Christian theonomy in a region of the United States. Takin this into account, this article approaches Atwood’s work under a sociological reflection on patriarchalism. For such, studies by authors such as Simone de Beauvoir, Maria Luisa Ribeiro Ferreira, Flavia Biroli, Michelle Perrot, among others. From a sociological perspective, we believe it is possible to achieve an understanding of the manifestation of patriarchalism in The Handmaid’s Tale and the implications that such a system had for the life of the characters, which makes possible a reflection about a society based on different socializations for men and women.
