will present Postfeminism in The Handmaid's Tale (2017)
Abstract
My paper discusses the serialized adaptation of Margaret Atwoods The Handmaid's Tale (2017) in the analytical framework of Adaptation Studies, Gothc Studies and Possible Worlds Theory with a view to understanding gothic heroinism in the series. How does heroinism appear in Atwood's novel and the serialized adaptation when interpreted through the lens of Possible Worlds Theory and Gothic Studies? My paper argues that the adaptation significantly redefines gothic heroinism and locates it within the context of postfeminist discourse.
