- W2000899392 abstract "Abstract Aptly described as “grand storytelling on a grand scale” and as a “beautiful puzzle,” a story-within-a-story-within-a-story in which “every piece fits” (Dirda, Puckett), Margaret Atwood's The Blind Assassin is at once an intricately designed literary puzzle featuring a classic Atwoodian narrator—the elderly memoirist Iris Chase Griffen, who is a master storyteller and illusionist—and an unsettling cautionary tale that, like Atwood's other novels, focuses attention on the power politics of gender relations. At the center of The Blind Assassin, as Atwood has commented, is the “concept of human sacrifice—in Zycron, in Iris's behavior and in Laura's” (Sylge). In pointedly connecting the traumatic sexual sacrifice of the two sisters, Iris and Laura Chase, to the sacrifice of the virgin in “The Blind Assassin” science fiction tale, Atwood, through repetitive retellings of the story of women's sexual victimization, probes the cultural—and historical—repetition of sexual violence against women, showing the link between institutionalized misogyny and the sexual traumatization of women. Atwood also underscores the damage that can result from the cultural and literary idealization of female self-sacrifice as she illustrates not only the historical oppression of women in a patriarchal system but also women's cultural blindness to, and thus collusion with, their own victimization as well as the victimization of other women." @default.
