Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes

Wow. This has prompted me to read more classic literature. I especially like Atwood's own afterword at the end, as she states that everything in the book is from stuff that had already happened in some form or another, as well as there not being any sort of addition of strange gizmos.
