woman to eat, the book-to-swallow. Margaret Atwood's novel draws. Exactly when the time expires and subsequent pages of the story. There are no dates, no political events which umiejscowiły to us in time. Equally well, they can be the 60th year in Canada, in 2008 in Poland - the late, economically, culturally and mentally in relation to the west.
heroine, Marian, is faced with a choice between the rock - Peter, earning good lawyer, a dark and mysterious Duncan, that is, freedom, independence, being an individual but also a consumer.
symbol of the heroine's disappearance will be a progressive anorexia, including an increasing number of products. It begins with a bloody steak, through the egg until the carrots. Marian realizes the suffering of animals and plants, enslavement and taking lives. The culmination of the transformation is induced by starvation and alcohol screening of the future, which has experienced at a party at her fiance. At the party, which at the last minute invited their friends, has a queer dress, hairstyle, jewelry, and face. Liberation gives her escape from her fiance and his world and to prepare sponge cake - sweet, empty women, women to absorb. Prepare cake and eat it from the leg returns Marian freedom and appetite. And the narration, since the middle of the book is told in the third person to come back again at the end of the first-person.
Despite the passage of 50 years, the topic of "Women to eat" is still valid. Cautions against too much resignation of herself to a close and the expectations of the environment. Tells you how close it is to compromise and sacrifice, of falling into dependency and self destruction and even falling into madness.
