This chapter explores how control over women’s bodies sustains Gilead, showing that oppression survives not only through violence, but through fear, complicity, and false choices.The video connects to The Handmaid’s Tale by illustrating how Gilead controls women through reproduction, showing that even acts that seem like choices are actually forms of coercion and survival.- Vale

This image represents loss of individual identity because the persons face is erased, symbolizing how personal identity, voice, and uniqueness are taken away. The face being held suggests that identity is constructed and changing over time. The image connects to chapter 33 of the Handmaid´s Tale because in the Prayvaganza, women are separated by class adn treated as a uniform group, similar to the faceless image.

Theme: Restriction

In Chapter 33, Offred reflects on her past and how much of her old life has been taken away from her, including her freedom to speak openly. This connects to the sound of a voice being silenced or restricted in real life. In society today, some individuals, especially women, still feel pressure to stay silent about their experiences in situations of violence and harassemnet. This also connects with the #MeToo movement that is going on, as it encourages women to speak up.

A song that connects to this is "Roar" by Katy Perry, as it encourages people to speak up.

In this chapter, Serena Joy gives a picture of Ofred's daughter to Ofred. This made her feel sad and forgotten by her daughter. Bad Bunny's song connects to this because of the lyrics "Debi tirar mas fotos de cuando te tuve". This connects to Ofred's situation on how pictures can have an intense meaning for someone.

Cloudbusting by Kate Bush lyrics: This song is associated with the themes of rebellion, hidden knowledge, and the longing for freedom from oppressive systems, which relate with the resistance during the ceremony.

2C: "Falling in love, we said; I fell for him. We were falling women. We believed in it, this downward motion: so lovely, like flying, and yet at the same time so dire, so extreme, so unlikely." This photo represents how we see the action of falling in love as a good thing, but it really is something that is so extreme, since you "fall" and there might not be anyone that'll catch you.

The image shows the government and the church placed side by side, suggesting that religious institutions are under the authority of the state rather than being independent. On chapter 33, Prayvaganza shows a twisted religious doctrine that justifies men domination as divine law.

Chapter 33 reflects the fear in the 1980s that women’s rights could be taken away. When Atwood wrote the novel, there was a strong conservative movement in the United States that promoted traditional gender roles. Offred’s memories of freedom contrast with Gilead, showing how easily society can change when fear and control take over.

"Was it really worth it, falling in love ? Arranged marriages have always worked out just as well, if not better". (pg.220). Both the image and the quote showcase how although arranged marriages often have the stereotype of being "blind" and unsuccessful, in reality they work better because they benefit both individuals and contribute to a successful / wealthy society. Also arranged marriages teach people to cope to their partner and leave a side the option of "breakup" or "love failure"

"I feel I even walk like that: crouched over, my spine constricting to a question mark, my bones leached of calcium and porous as limestone." (Atwood, 1998, p. 200).

The image depicts an hourglass with sand showing that time is running out, and it simultaneously depicts a uterus, as a metaphor for time running out for fertility (menopause). This is especially important for Offred because her fertility acts as her intrinsic value and as a lifeline. When time runs out and she is no longer fertile, her survival and well-being is in danger.

"Everybody Wants to Rule the World” – Tears for Fears.

The song reflects how power is justified and normalized, much like the Commander’s reasoning for Gilead. Its calm, almost upbeat sound contrasts with the darker message, similar to how Gilead presents oppression as order and safety. The theme of control and domination connects to Offred’s growing awareness of how trapped she truly is. In Chapter 32, Offred feels claustrophobic as the Commander calmly justifies Gilead, presenting oppression as order and safety. This connects to real life because authorities often limit freedom by claiming it is for protection, which can make control feel normal and acceptable. The song “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears fits this chapter because it reflects how power and domination are disguised as reasonable and inevitable, mirroring the Commander’s logic and Offred’s growing discomfort.

"I should scratch marks on the wall, one for each day of the week, and run a line through them when I have seven. But what would be the use, this isn't a jail sentence; there's no time here that can be done and finished with." (Atwood, 1998, pg. 199).

The image depicts a prison with seemingly endless hallways. This represents the inescapability of Gilead's unfortunate reality.

This song matches the chapter because it is about love being jugded and controlled by a strict system. In Chapter 31 Offred being with Nick is forbidden but it is the only thing that makes her feel real agian. Just like in the song love goes against the rules especially rules that use religion to control people.

Both the song and the chapter show that choosing love can be a form of rebellion. Even when everything else is controled Offred still chooses how she feels and that is powerful. Mateo and Andres

"Once in a while I think I can see myself, thought blearily, as he may see me. There are things he wants to prove to me, gifts he wants to bestow, services he wants to render, tenderness he wants to inspire"

This image represents self awareness by demonstrating how she accepts her situation of being behind of the masculine figure in that way becoming powerless and different from him, in that way becoming men have the sensation of being productive and servicial
