He felt his sac separate from him, just as his tail had "s-Satan please....please stop...no more..." He begged....he was not even sure if without his scrotum he could keep his length...but he had already given up on trying to convince Satan of anything. He was dead set on taking this from him. The blade pressed to his cock, cutting and slicing. Amaimon could only sob, he did not even thrash anymore, merely hung limp. The blood was worse now, his whole body soaked with it. His member and his sad joined his tail in the ground, father's thumb meeting with his forefinger and finishing the job. Amaimon looked at it in a daze, not believing it. Father let go of his neck, he crumpled to the ground. His body quivered and shook, his eyes were wide, but he saw nothing. He was too cold, his …show more content…
Now you'll be the beautiful girl you were meant to be. Now you'll belong to me always." He turned, not looking at Amaimon as he left, calling from the door of the garden as he ascended stairs "come back to the room once you're done bleeding." And bleed he did. The thick pool of red surrounding him quickly. He was not sure how much blood he was losing, but it was more than enough for him to pass out. His eyes settled on the statue of Samael as his sight faded. The statues eyes bored into him and father's words came back to him. 'He hated you because of this....He would have started fucking you the moment you could speak had you been born with the cunt you should have been born with....Look at how perfect you were....I'll turn you into who you're supposed to be, just you wait. You'll be pretty again....' If all that was true...then surely now father's actions were a blessing...now he could be Lilith just like Samael wanted him to be...maybe one day he could escape...maybe one day he could find Samael and say "Look at me, Anuie...aren't I pretty? Aren't I what you wanted? Aren't I so perfect? Don't you want me
Every human being needs certain rights to survive. There are the fundamental ones; food, water, air, shelter, but there are also other ones that are equally important to survive: love, communication, compassion, freedom. In many dystopian societies one of these fundamental needs are missing because the society is afraid that they will break the control that they have over the people. In the novel The Handmaid’s tale by Margaret Atwood the society is no different. Narrated by a woman named Offred who once was happy who had a family and a job, she shows the reader that to keep people quiet the society takes away people 's freedom, their ability to choose, their ability to be with and talk to who they want, even their ability to read and write,
The Handmaid's Tale This is a futuristic novel that takes place in the northern part of the USA sometime in the beginning of the twenty-first century, in the oppressive and totalitarian Republic of Gilead. The regime demands high moral retribution and a virtuous lifestyle. The Bible is the guiding principle. As a result of the sexual freedom, free abortion and high increase of venereal diseases at the end of the twentieth century, many women, (and men also, but that is forbidden to say), are sterile. The women who are still fertile are recruited as Handmaids, and their only mission in life is to give birth to the offspring of their Commander, whose wife is infertile.
In any society, laws and restrictions are placed upon the individuals living in it. These regulations can not only be a determinant of how one acts, but also how one perceives themselves. One issue that is undoubtedly going to happen to an individual is unfairness concerning one of society’s laws. Even if one is innocent of actions, regulations can cause an individual to feel as if that law is creating injustice. Does an individual have a right to oppose and rebel against perceived unfairness? Or shall one simply accept the unfairness thrust upon them? In The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood, we meet a woman named Offred, who is a handmaid. She describes how her society is not always a positive influence towards the people living it. In connection to Offred’s opinion, in Plato’s Critio, Socrates argues that an individual needs to accept these regulations placed upon oneself. Both Socrates and Offred gives great reasoning behind their argument, but the connection found between both stories is that an individual needs to accept the terms given to them. To right against unfair regulations creates a huge controversy and can even cause injuries to a group or an individual. Society’s laws are not always positive influence however one needs to adapt life to make it more bearable. Laws are not always going to be fair and even if these laws interfere with individual needs, a person needs to corporate and find different alterations in order to survive.
The Handmaid's Dystopia The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood is a dystopian tale about a world where unrealistic things take place. The events in the novel could never actually take place in our reality." This is what most people think and assume, but they"re wrong. Look at the world today and in the recent past, and there are not only many situations that have ALMOST become a Gilead, but places that have been and ARE Gileadean societies. We're not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy! Even today, there are places in the world where there is a startling similarity to this fictitious dystopia.
Feminism as we know it began in the mid 1960's as the Women's Liberation Movement. Among its chief tenants is the idea of women's empowerment, the idea that women are capable of doing and should be allowed to do anything men can do. Feminists believe that neither sex is naturally superior. They stand behind the idea that women are inherently just as strong and intelligent as the so-called stronger sex. Many writers have taken up the cause of feminism in their work. One of the most well known writers to deal with feminist themes is Margaret Atwood. Her work is clearly influenced by the movement and many literary critics, as well as Atwood herself, have identified her as a feminist writer. However, one of Atwood's most successful books, The Handmaid's Tale, stands in stark contrast to the ideas of feminism. In fact, the female characters in the novel are portrayed in such a way that they directly conflict with the idea of women's empowerment.

“Yes, that’s just what I can’t understand, looking back. But tell me now, Hedda, wasn’t it love that was at the bottom of that relationship? Wasn’t it, on your side, as though you wanted to purify
At first glance, Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaids Tale would seem like a straightforward feminist text. The narrative takes place in a hypothetical future where gender discrepancies are explored in a complete patriarchy in which women are exclusively domesticated in the house, used for the purpose of breeding, or otherwise banished to the Colonies. The women are categorized by their ability to reproduce children and participate in society according to such placement. Though The Handmaids Tale is supposed to promote awareness of such an oppressive society to women, Atwood demonstrates a more accepting culture of Gilead by women with an overarching theme of complacency. Instead of arguing against such a society, Atwood further oppresses women by implying that women would simply accept this new culture without much of a fight. This implication makes The Handmaids Tale less of a feminist text and more of masculism and power.
The Handmaid’s Tale and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? draw on different narrative techniques to establish our relationship to their protagonists. Margaret Atwood allows the reader to share the thoughts of the main character, while Philip K. Dick makes the reader explore the mysteries behind the story. Atwood’s style works because she can directly show her readers what she wants. Dick’s opposing style works for him because he can present paradoxes and mysteries and let the reader form the conclusion. Both of these styles are skillfully utilized to create complex stories without losing the reader along the way.
The novel, The Handmaid's Tale, by Margaret Atwood focuses on the choices made by the society of Gilead in which the preservation and security of mankind is more highly regarded than freedom or happiness. This society has undergone many physical changes that have led to extreme psychological ramifications. I think that Ms. Atwood believes that the possibility of our society becoming as that of Gilead is very evident in the choices that we make today and from what has occured in the past. Our actions will inevitably catch up to us when we are most vulnerable.
areful emerald eyes watched the royal family depart with Lady Zerarah and the prince of Fredenbezigung. Athan remained where he was, pondering the task his king asked him to do and whether he trusted Rangor's guest or not. He didn't, not entirely. Something about the way the other walked, talked, an air of arrogance swept for Sossa's brother to feel centerfold. It felt peculiar. Stringy unkempt hair glided against his hairless face, the young warrior waited in the foyer devotedly looking after his family until they were no longer in sight, the festivities bound to keep them busy as others native to this grand country. Lips pressed inward, his head lowered, and he turned around thoughtful. Had it not been for his king surely he and Sossa may

"'Never again.' That's what I said to myself. 'I never want to feel your kind of pain again.' Just when I think it's over, just when I think it's through... I find myself back in love with you."
"You stupid bitch. You 're so fucking stupid. You deserve to be alone. You 're dumb. You 're ugly and horrible. You 're an awful monster and no one will ever love you. You 're just stupid and worthless. Why do you bother living? No one wants you. No one will ever want you. You 're a burden and you drag everyone down. You make everyone miserable. You 're fat and disgusting."
