The Handmaid's Tale - Reflection

Many biblical allusions are found in The Handmaid's Tale. Finding out what these allusions were and looking them up to make the connections between the Biblical stories and the book was the most interesting part of reading this book. Almost every name and place in the book is biblical as well as the numerous references used to decribe things in the story. What i did not like about the story was that, because the story is told from Offred's point of view, only her true emmotions are truely shown. Everyone else in the story seemed much more dull. Had the story been told in their perspective, their true emotions would have been much clearer, but it was in Offred's so only her's was shown.
