dc.description.abstract | In this thesis I will explore how ideology has been implemented in The Republic of Gilead as they are amid a forced ideological shift, turning away from an ideology much like our own, and building a new society grounded on an extremist Christian ideology heavily influenced by Biblical scripture. I will also explore how both Gilead and Offred use and abuse memories in order to both maintain and resist ideology. By examining certain scenes in the novel through the lens of theories on ideology and memory, I will highlight the integration of a new ideology and its fragile dependency on memories, as well as examine the “Historical Notes” epilogue in Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. | |
