The Handmaid's Tale

First person narrative - point of view of Offred gives us a feminist perspective on the events which happen. Idea that the narrative is constructed and would be different if taken from another character/perspective; her account of the events is subjective. But, also possible to argue that despite the fact that Offred is a very relatable narrator, her arguments could be bias and therefore unreliable:
- She intentionally withholds information which she does not feel comfortable disclosing i.e, her name.

"It didn't happen that way either. I'm not sure how it happened; not exactly" (275)

It's ... a story I'm telling in my head as I go along'. - 'story' suggests that her account is somewhat fictional, and certain aspects of her narrative may be exaggerated or changed depending on the negative/positive outlook in which she finishes her day. We can understand that she recognises that her story will be listened to, and will be interpreted in different way.

'This is a reconstruction. All of it is a reconstruction. It’s a reconstruction now, in my head'

Also, we can relate to her and the speculation which she emits about certain events etc.
