Produktbeschreibung
Women's oppression has been a pervasive issue throughout history, with women being subjected to gender-based violence, discrimination, and marginalization. These challenges have been perpetuated by patriarchal systems that have been in place for centuries, reinforced by societal norms and expectations. This study undertakes a comparative analysis between Atwood's text The Handmaid's Tale (1985) and its ballet adaptation presented by Ecole De Dance Anick Macconnel at Fever International Dance Championships (2019). It also explores the inevitable narrative changes that occur when adapting a novel to other genres, with a focus on the ballet interpretation. At the forefront of this study lies the categorization of The Handmaid's Tale as a work of speculative fiction set within an apocalyptic backdrop, aiming to illuminate the ubiquitous oppressiveness characterizing the examined society. To provide a deep analysis of the two texts, the study employs several theoretical frameworks.
