Rigidity and imprisoning nature of PATRIARCHAL EXPECTIONS, reflecting Jacobean expectations of women.

EXAMPLE 1: Challenging patriarchal binary of femininity “grip like a jar opener”,
Felix's description of Annemarie juxtaposes her physical beauty described as “slender”, “girlish” with her physical toughness
CONTEXT: Atwood’s reimagining of Miranda reflects the Postmodern suspicion of binary oppositions, in particular the denial of the legitimacy of the rigid patriarchal binary of masculinity and femininity
EXAMPLE 3: POWERLESSNESS “eating disorder”, “hot to me,”
MIRRORING patriarchal notions of The Tempest, Atwood’s use of derogatory epithets, examines the problematic secret attitudes women face in 21st century that have endured, through the inmates reflections of the video.
Deliberately unsettling, Atwood conveys that men remain quick to make assumptions about women and their bodies and although women are liberated, they are still are under patriarchal control
DISSONANCE emerges within Miranda’s characterisation. PARADOXICALLY. Shakespeare acknowledges her willingness to DEFY patriarchal values, BUT Miranda's submissiveness, beauty and chastity are also indicative of her willingness to SUBMIT to the expectation of the ideal Jacobean women. Through this, Shakespeare questions the legitimacy of patriarchal ideals

Shakespeare reflects upon the rigidity and imprisoning nature of patriarchal expectations, reflecting Jacobean expectations of women. Atwood reimagines the motif of imprisonment and in doing so dismantles the confines of patriarchal restraints and rigidity of the feminine identity through her complex characterisation of Anne-Marie.
Atwood EXTENDS THIS CONVERSATION through her RECREATION of Miranda in the fiercely independent and determined Anne-Marrie who COLLIDES with the objectification of Shakespeare’s Miranda in the play.
CONTEXT: Atwood, as a feminist, defies stereotypical representations of women and rather presents them as complex and fully human, that have the innate desire to assert their autonomy.
