Power, Knowledge, and Subjectivity in Margaret Atwood’s Alias Grace

Author(s) Annabel Lalhriatpuii
Country India
Abstract Central to the study is the intersection of power with gender and sexuality. Grace’s body is situated within Victorian discourses, linking her alleged madness to sexual exploitation and class vulnerability. Yet, Atwood portrays resistance through Grace’s narrative strategies—selective silence, fragmented storytelling, and the symbolic quilting of her “Tree of Paradise”—which subvert attempts to fix her identity. The novel thus critiques the production of truth, showing how subjects can reconfigure power relations creatively.
