Margaret Atwood in her novel "The Handmaid's Tale" depicts a fundamentalist patriarchal society in which women are treated as commodities whose values are based on their ability to reproduce. Atwood depicts, in many ways, the dehumanization of women in Gilead's society and their transformation into mere objects to be exchanged among men depending on their value as reproductive tools. The following research paper will be looking at different aspects of the novel that manifest these premises in the dystopian narrative of Atwood. I intend to survey the plausibility of Atwood's plot in various contexts and using Foucault's theories of subjectivity in feminism and Luce Irigray's contention of commodification of women, I introduce a framework of consideration to examine the rationality of the tale. I examine the role of religion in commodification of women to establish the prophylactic nature of Atwood's narrative in conceptualizing Gilead's theocracy. Furthermore, this paper will attempt to examine the potency of Atwood's tale as a possible future through the framework of female commodification and commodification of women in theocracies. Examining the role of religion and expanding on distinct aspects of commodification of women in theocracies, the paper concludes that Atwood's narrative is a far more plausible future than previously thought.
