Each novel has a problem in its core societal framework that has caused it to become a dystopia. What is the central problem in your novel that needs solving in order to resolve the dystopia that has been created? Next, solve the problem. Determine a plan for how the society in your book can transition from the present dystopia to a functional and fair society. - Ray'Jhean O'Neal
The main problem displayed in the dystopian society in The Handmaid's Tale, was the lack of voice and opinion in the people to the government and the city's laws. I believe that the people in the society had little to no opinion in the development of the society. They did not choose to have their lives turned around. When the dystopian came to be, they were forced to wear, do, and live whatever way the government wanted them to. The people who rebelled against the laws of the governemt were killed and hung on a wall as a prop to show other people what the should not do. This striked fear in the people, and they felt hopeless. To fix the problem, the government could allow some freedom to the people, like what clothes to wear and where to live. Also, they could at least give the people a warning to what laws or policies they are going to enforce. To completely eliminate the dystopian society, the government could allow the people to vote on what they want for their society, instead of having the government making all the decisions for them. I think a society works when there is a good relationship between the government and the people. A compromise should be in place between both parties to please on another. The government in this dystopian society deprived the people of their human rights that belonged to them, and it ultimately caused it to fail and for it to be considered a dystopian.
