Dystopic Reconfigurations of Corporate America: Margaret Atwood’s “The Heart Goes Last”. One of Margaret Atwood’s dystopic novels, The Heart Goes Last is an intricate examination of human nature, the precariousness of love, free will, the roots of social evil and the potential dangers of excessive institutional power. Grounded in an examination of Atwood’s text, this paper aims to analyze the techniques through which the image of “corporate America” is re-configured in a nightmarish setting where the fight for power, money and control negatively re-positions the ethical limits of humanity.
