What if one day it will happen that the notion of romantic love will be questioned by political regime, and what if sexual relations which are considered to be an essential part of romantic love relationship will acquire a new notion of something limited only to reproduction of human species? This is the very question addressed in the novel “The Handmaid’s Tale” by Margaret Atwood. After having a closer look at the novel it becomes evident that the author intended to express the idea that any laws, regulations and judicial restrictions will be able to kill the strong bond of romantic love. With the development of the novel’s plot it becomes evident that ordinary people like Offred, Luke and the Commander will take any risks just to become inspired by a chance to love and be loved. “The Handmaid’s Tale” by Margaret Atwood is science-fiction novel about the Republic of Gilead which replaced the country of United States of America after the revolution organized by “Sons of Jacob” extremist movement. The new state has a very strange legislative system organized around chauvinistic ideas about women and gender relations. The story’s narrator used to be married to a man called Luke. However, this marriage was her second one. And in accordance to the new extremist legislation it is considered to be an adulterous one. The main character along with her husband Luke was fighting for their love trying to escape to the neighboring country of Canada. This cost Luke his life as the novel’s analysis suggests.

It seems that they have sort of a love affair which is actually forbidden by the new legislation. The conclusion that the narrator and her Commander have romantic affair can be made from the way he treated her. We read that Fred practiced illegal conduct having talks of intellectual and personal character with Offred. They even played games together. Let us consider such scene: We play two games. Larynx, I spell. Valance . Quince . Zygote . I hold the glossy counters with their smooth edges, finger the letters. The feeling is voluptuous. This is freedom, an eyeblink of it. Limp I spell. Gorge . What a luxury. The counters are like candies, made of peppermint, cool like that. Humbugs those were called. I would like to put them in my mouth. They would taste also of lime. The letter C. Crisp, slightly acidic on the tongue, delicious (Atwood, p. 127). Analyzing this scene, it becomes evident that the Commander’s relationship with his concubine is rather warm and close. Whoever of men will play an intellectual game with a woman in case he has no romantic interest to her especially when it is forbidden by law and is connected to high risks? Actually, this episode can be related as a vivid evidence of t
