How is the 'horror' of Chapter Six of The Handmaid's Tale conveyed?

  1. "hanging from is hooks" - like meat, dehumanising

  2. "hoping to save his own skin" - horrible that people have to rat out others in order to save themselves

  3. "bags" - dehumanises the men further as their faces cannot be seen

  4. "one red smile" - blood and smiles are not normally associated, grotesque image

  5. "tulips" - repetition

  6. "turn our backs" - so barbaric, have lost Christian values

  7. "doctors and scientists" - people die in hospitals, savers of life are being exeuted, what hope is left?

  8. "war criminals" - war against birth, doctors who save lives are considered criminal

  9. "must have had a run on them" - animalistic, like killing herds of animals, humans almost being hunted

  10. "evidence from a single woman is no longer admissible" - women aren't rescpected, trusted, society has moved backwards in trying to move forward

  11. "barbed wire" "broken glass" - not allowed to leave, no escape, they are trapped, suggests danger and pain

  12. "It will become ordinary" - such a horrible things shouldn't be ordinary

  13. "desperate bid for safety" - will do anything, authoritarian, totalitarian, does safety even exist now?
