"Resolving the Dystopia"

The problem that is found in “The Handmaid’s Tail” that makes it a dystopia is that the people of the society are not allowed to reproduce. They are not allowed to be sexual or think of sex in any way. This includes the things that are seen in everyday life, as seen by the surprised description of Offered when the commander lets her see the magazine he had. She was so surprised because she had not seen one in a very long time. This was also because things like this are forbidden in their society, things like reading and talking to people of the opposite sex. The problem is that they are not allowed to do these things and because of temptation people in the society end up breaking the law. The solution to this problem is to get rid of the laws that prevents them from being sexually active, tempted, and separated from their families. It would all be great if it was that simple but by removing the these laws another problem can arise. The new problem would be that everything would go out of control as seen by the actions that are being taken by Offred in the book when she becomes tempted even though she knows she has a husband. This is why I think we need a plan of preparation before the laws can be removed and new laws put into place. My plan is to first put the women that have the job of reproducing into therapy. This is because these women probably go through suffering or will end up suffering. The people of the society will then be placed with people of the opposite sex, for communication purposes. This way they are able to see each other as equal human beings instead of objects. After everyone starts to feel comfortable with each other they will be reunited with their families. Once they are all reunited and society see each other as what they are the plan will be completed. This is a process that might take a while for to resolve the problem but this is the best way of keeping a society like this sane.
