Similarly, in The Handmaids Tale, the protagonist, Offred, as the narrator is unreliable. As mentioned previously, the historical notes contribute to the unreliability, the tapes being ‘arranged in no particular order’ potentially transforms the story entirely, especially since this only comes into light at the end of the novel. Those who rearranged them in ‘the order in which they appear’ means that it could differ completely from the initial, first-hand account. This could essentially be a link to Shelley’s Frankenstein through how the creature is physically constructed by Victor with multiple parts, these parts being handpicked, which is similar to how the tapes were hand selected and rearranged by the academics. Often, Offred is notably speculating about things that could have happened, such as the different versions of her accounts with Nick, that she ‘made it up’ and how it ‘didn’t happen that way,’ for her to correct herself, it further proves that we as readers cannot rely on what Offred says and what we would assume to be clear events, are shadowed with uncertainty.
