I don't know if Handmaid's tale can be considered Dystopian because, frankly, it is not that scary for two mains reason:
Firstly, it is completely unrealistic. No one would separate a child from their parent in any world.
Secondly, the characters are unsympathetic. Sure something terrible happens to them but then you realize that they broke the law. Clearly, they are at fault for breaking the law.
