Anglo-Saxon were the Germanic Tribes who invaded Great Britain in the beginning of the fifth century. Throughout the novel, Atwood includes numerous Latin references as well as real groups and true events. With the fusion of fiction and reality, Atwood makes it seem as the the story of Offred seem completely believable. Allusions are a common technique that authors use to make readers question what is fiction and what is reality.
