Abstract

In this study, The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood's cultural criticism is examined via the lens of acculturation theory. This research has a cross-sectional design and is theoretical. People from different backgrounds who come together experience cultural and psychological changes. Most of these groups have formed a variety of cultural, linguistic, and religious organizations since first coming together.

Due to issues with immigration, business, and other political issues, people migrate outside of their home nations to acclimate to new cultures, values, languages, and behaviours. Refugees, immigrants, and asylum seekers are highlighted as a result. According to the finds, women are reduced to serving as child-bearing "vessels" to save the nation. This tale of a woman under oppression takes place in a world of dictatorship, constant watchfulness, and political manipulation. In both texts, writers depict a dystopia because a sizable section of the population is now infertile due to climate
