"...a tape playing, Les Sylphides." (pg. 70)
Les Sylphides was ballet dance in the the early 1900's. This dance was a new twist on ballet, steering away towards to typical Russian version of dance. Les Sylphides symbolized finding a beautiful dream. In The Handmaid's Tale, Offred is trying to find out what her beautiful dreams is. Distinguishing what is arranged for her: being a handmaid and waiting to reproduce and what she wants: freedom and true love.
