"Delia Owens' writing style, with its poetic and descriptive prose, enhances the emotional and sensory experience of the story. Her descriptive language paints a vivid picture of the marshlands: 'The morning burned so August-hot, the marsh's moist breath hung the oaks and pines with fog' (Owens, 3). This literary richness creates a deeper emotional connection with readers, capturing the loneliness and resilience of Kya's life in a way that the movie's dialogue and visuals struggle to convey. Owens writes, 'She knew the years of isolation had altered her behaviour until she was different from others. But it was not her fault' (Owens, 320). The novel's prose weaves natural beauty with human emotion, enriching the narrative and making the book

In Stillman and Johnson's article, they refer heavily to the fact that maintaining a sense of self in the troubling times of Gilead is the best way to resist. Many of the characters achieve this but Offred does not as she is lost in her selfish world of neutrality and inaction. In part one of the article, they discuss Offred's character. The authors write that she is "savvy about how to live under the constraints of Gilead. She recognizes the social and power relations and conflicts that impinge upon her life" (72).

Conformity also causes a conflict in identity causing people to feel labeled by the society.
