The story itself is a twist on the concept of a "rape fantasy." The story was written in the 70s and so the content does not address our society's contemporary understanding of rape culture and its impact. Nevertheless, it is an interesting, and for many women true, insight into the fears of everyday existence in the world.
I think short stories are difficult to write, and the fact that Atwood has 14 unique stories - similar themes, but characters with their own unique voice, amazes me.
