Publisher's Summary

SuperSummary, a modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, offers high-quality instructional study guides for challenging works of literature. This audio study guide for The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood includes detailed summary and analysis of each chapter and an in-depth exploration of the book’s multiple symbols, motifs, and themes such as the objectification and subordination of women, controlling sexuality, and the cooptation of religion. Featured content also includes commentary on major characters, 25 important quotes, essay questions, and discussion topics.

Set in a repressive theocracy called the Republic of Gilead, formerly the United States, The Handmaid's Tale tells the story of Offred, who recounts her daily experiences of her life as a "Handmaid", a woman forced to bear children for the higher-ranking members of Gilead society.

This audio study guide presents the same expert content — written by experienced teachers, professors, and literary scholars — in an easy-to-access audio format. SuperSummary study guides demonstrate an authoritative voice, present expert analysis, offer big picture ideas, and help listeners understand a work’s underlying meanings and conclusions.

Repetitious 


The author kept repeating the same points over and over again. I would’ve rather read the story. Repetitious
