"The Angels stood outside with their backs to us." (pg. 4)
Margaret Atwood introduces "The Angels" within the first piece of the novel, The Handmaids Tale. The Angels or guards, stood outside of the fence were the handmaids went for the walks. The handmaids spoke about wanting the Angels to notice them, but they never turned around. The reason the handmaids longed for attention from the guards was to try to make a deal with them. The thought if they could just speak to the Angels they could do their one mission in life: reproduce.
