Abstract
The essay analyzes the narrative universe of The Handmaid’s Tale as a paradigmatic expression of contemporary dystopia. It explores the central role of the visual image in activating the symbolic, dramaturgical, and ideological dimensions of the story, focusing on the evolution of the character June Osborne, the dialectic between past and future, and the function of flashbacks. Through an analysis of the aesthetic and narrative strategies of television seriality, the contribution reflects on forms of iconic control, totalitarian drift, and the ethical potential of dystopian storytelling.
