IB Extended Essay Help

Hi, I am doing an analysis of The Handmaid's Tale for my extended essay and want to write about the social contract in relationship to the society of Gilead in The Handmaid's Tale. My question is:*In what ways does "The Handmaid's Tale" illustrate the balance between individual liberties and societal obligations as proposed by the social contract theory?*my advisor suggested that I cut down my question to stop at:*In what ways does "The Handmaid's Tale" illustrate the balance between individual liberties and societal obligations?*Is my original question one that still fits under the subject of English or do I need to change it to the second question?
