The handmaids tale as a novel is fragmented and disjointed this gives an effect to show the character has been traumatised and is delirious.
The handmaid's tale is very disjointed and it is written in the present tense although it is always referring to the past. The first chapter of the book start6s in 'training time' which is in the characters past, the first chapter is really intriguing and makes the reader want to read further. We don't no the first chapter is in the narrators past until the reader comes to the second chapter, when the surroundings are totally different and the narrator is describing the place she lives in. the novel, for the first few chapter or sections has no background information of who the narrator is, what has happened in her past, or why their being treated like a prisoner. The writer uses the narrator to tell the story bit by bit not all at once. Throughout the novel she refers back to the past to give the reader information on what has happened in her world, to e like this its not until chapter 28 that offred the narrator reveals what actually happened to Gileads, the place she lives ad lived and how it all happened. The are no speech marks when the narrator refers to the past ' I remember that yearning ' the quote in the book does not have speech marks which show that she is not speaking about her memory but mealy thinking it in her head.
