In both, Fahrenheit 451 and Handmaid tail, people are controlled by the government and both stories include the enjoyment of suicide, of killing in character's behavior and thinking.
In Fahrenheit 451 and Handmaid tails , the government imposes people a way of living. In 451, books are not allowed, because they talk about how it used to be in the past, how people used to have a free will, and they used to be able to chose their own way of being happy, nothing was being imposed. Also books are forbidden because it only has words that say nothing and make people sad. On top of that, they'd have to think about what the words say, such thing might hurt the government idea of controlling the world, and they'd loose control.
In both books, the female characters, those with a weaker personalities, have suicide behaviors. They have been totally manipulated. Mildred loves driving fast in the country and enjoys the feeling of killing rabbits and dogs. On the other hand, in Handmaids tails, the female character loves the blood smell and also loves how blood flows down the floor. Either of them are being touched by the pain they are causing. The control of the society washed any kind of sentiment, their left with no feelings.

Okay. Thank you for posting. Can you please add the sentence that these paragraphs are supporting. We need to talk about the use of 'evidence'.
