  • 描述: Much has been written about the effectiveness of speculative fiction, especially utopian works. In this thesis I will examine the source of fear in Margaret Atwood's works The Handmaid's Tale and Oryx and Crake using Sigmund Freud's "The Uncanny" to illustrate the terror of doubles as they appear in the novels. The terror in The Handmaid's Tale comes from the descriptions of distorted physical environments, while the horror in Oryx and Crake emanates from the familiar yet twisted animals and characters found inside the corporate compounds. Through the recognition of these doubles as uncanny, Atwood's work moves readers to cognition and social action.
