Title: The Feminist Lens in “The Handmaid’s Tale”

Write a minimum 4–5-page paper which forwards the analysis of any television show. You will analyze, interpret, and explicate the television show according to the criteria of one or more of the critical strategies (or lenses) including Formalist, Semiotic, Psychoanalytic, Socio-economic, and Feminist critical approaches. (You are not limited to these lenses.)  The final paper will be submitted in MLA format with works cited.
As always, your thesis should forward an arguable interpretation and/or evaluation of the text’s value, impact, or significance according to the criteria of any of the critical strategies or “lenses” listed above.  For example, in “Mock Feminism: Waiting to Exhale,” Bell Hooks uses the feminist and socio-economic lenses (as well as semiotic) to challenge the “feminist” pretense of what Bell argues is nothing more than mainstream Hollywood capitalizing on traditional sexist and racist stereotypes under the guise of “progressive politics.”
Requirements 
Your essay should:
Have a compelling, original title.
Forward a thesis that asserts an arguable claim about the text/s based on any of the critical strategies (or “lenses”) listed above as its criteria.
Be 4-5 pages in length, submitted in MLA format with in-text citations and a separate Works Cited page. 
You will need at least three quotes from a minimum of two outside sources. I would recommend COC databases. They are vetted and easier to cite. 
You will need to use at least 4 examples from Signs of Life. Those examples need to come from at least two sources in Signs Of Life Vol #10 (provided pdf link)
