I think Marian is a painfully relatable character to this modern day. Atwood, I find, has an immortal gift of skimming the roots of the problem (namely; in this case, femininity, patriarchy, and the rise of the feminist figure) without strictly de-rooting them, simply exposing them and making her readers more aware of its severity through her stories.

“Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.” 

“In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
