last words of ammoron in the testaments movie

“She had said her piece, quite thoroughly,” Atwood says. One of the reasons Atwood waited as long as she did to write a sequel, she tells TIME, was because she felt re-creating Offred’s voice would be impossible. The new book does not drop back into the mind of the woman who first described to us all the horrific customs of Gilead. Fans who hoped Offred, the narrator of The Handmaid’s Tale, might be one of the three will be disappointed. When she announced The Testaments, Atwood teased that the new novel is narrated by three women, but she revealed nothing of their identities.

“So it’s those three: the witness, the will and ‘I’m telling you the truth.’” Who are the narrators of The Testaments ? And what does a witness give? A testimony, but also a testament,” she says.

“It has several different meanings: last will and testament, Old and New Testaments. Why is the book called The Testaments ?Ītwood has a three-pronged answer to this question, drawing on the structure of the novel - which is told by three narrators - and the religious aspects of Gilead. But this is Atwood we’re talking about, and nothing is ever as simple as it seems.
