The Handmaid’sTale is a dystopian fiction which has caught attention of many critics and metafiction readers for its stylistic and thematic approaches. The structuralist theory was morphing into post-structuralist theory at the time the novel came out. Thus, it is necessary to undergo the structuralist and linguistic relative analysis of this metafiction. This research paper attempts to understand the core essence of the predictions and connotations the novel has imbibed in itself. The research essay takes into account the studies that are already done on the novel and compare them to trace down the structuralist concerns that Margaret Atwood raises in her dystopian metafiction. This paper attempts to highlight the linguistic tools that uncover the underlying feminist resistance and rebellion that Atwood portrays in her female characters.
