Abstract:Margaret Atwood has been showing great concern and thinking on “death” in her novels. Atwood has weaved a huge death narrative in many of her novels through applying various metamorphoses of death images, setting the death atmosphere with black humor, and exploring women’s death narration and death writing, with an aim not merely to inspire readers’ meditation on death itself, but rather to encourage people to show deep concern to life value and moral significance. Atwood’s female protagonists can get a chance to negotiate with the dead by feeling and experiencing death, and hence complete a life counterattack like Heidegger’s “Being toward Death”, which manifests Atwood’s humanist concern on women’s living state, self-pursuit and fate trajectory.
