The chapter entitled "Historical Notes" at the end of the novel also represents a warning to academics who run the risk of misreading and misunderstanding historical texts, pointing to the satirized Professor Pieixoto as an example of a male scholar who has taken over and overpowered Offred's narrative with his own interpretation.

Fitting with her statements that The Handmaid's Tale is a work of speculative fiction, not science fiction, Atwood's novel offers a satirical view of various social, political, and religious trends of the United States in the 1980s. Her motivation for writing the novel was her belief that in the 1980s, the religious right was discussing what they would do with/to women if they took power, including the Moral Majority, the Christian Coalition, and the Ronald Reagan administration. [14] [ failed verification] Atwood questions what would happen if these trends, and especially "casually held attitudes about women" were taken to their logical end. [15] There’s something about Renee Nault’s art that makes the reader feel both closer to the action and completely, terrifyingly, alone . . . This is the power of graphic novels―the ability to add that extra emotional pull to an already strong story.” According to philosopher Andy Lamey, rather than straightforward allusions, the similarities to Plato are combined with features that differ, at times dramatically, from Plato's original. As Lamey writes, "the result is that Atwood’s dystopia deliberately calls to mind a distorted version of Platonism, one that differs in ways large and small from the original." [78] In the case of gymnasiums, for example, In Plato they see women socialized into roles that make them the equal of men, while in Gilead they are where handmaids are first taught their duties. Nault spectacularly transforms lines and color into fear, resignation, desperation, and the tiniest glimmers of hope." Malak, Amin (1987).
