To my understanding, The Handmaid’s Tale is more a story of America, misogyny, and the broad latent support for hard-right theological fascism that has long existed just below the surface than it is the story of Offred. Removing those ‘back story’ elements is kind of removing all of the sociopolitical commentary, right?
