This thesis aims to demonstrate the parallels between the rhetoric on reproductive rights within Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and current debates on abortion in the US. It explores how the novel serves as a poignant commentary on the complexities of reproductive rights in the face of societal norms, prejudices, and recent legal rulings.
The first chapter, "The Rhetoric on Reproductive Rights," provides a historical context for the ongoing debate on abortion in the US, particularly focusing on events leading to the Dobbs decision. It then connects these events to Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and explores the novel's relevance to the current reproductive rights debate, highlighting the importance of rhetoric in shaping the discourse.
The third chapter, "Euphemisms," examines the concept and role of euphemistic language in the novel and the ongoing US abortion debate. It analyzes the "Pro-Choice" and "Pro-Life" labels as examples of euphemistic language usage, and how rituals in the novel employ similar linguistic techniques.
The next chapter, "Metaphors," focuses on the function and relationship of metaphors to the central theme. The analysis explores the "Heartbeat Bills" as instances of metaphorical language usage and investigates dehumanizing and objectifying metaphors prevalent in both the novel and the real-life debate on abortion.
