Setting

The setting of "The Handmaid's Tale" is a critical element of the story, creating a chilling

backdrop that amplifies the themes of oppression, control, and societal decay.




Time Period

The novel is set in a dystopian future that seems plausible and yet disconcertingly different

from our present reality. While the exact time frame is not explicitly mentioned, the reader

can infer it as a not-too-distant future from the time the book was written (1985). The

narrative occasionally references events and societal shifts that are recognizable from the 20th

century, indicating that Gilead emerged following a period of societal unrest, political

upheaval, and environmental crises.
