We learned more about the world since the last part of the book. Offred is secretly meeting with the commander now and may try to use that to escape. This book reminds me of V for Vendetta. They are both dystopias and have similar methods of control in them. One parallel I see to real life is how they make people accept their situation. It is similar to how people can be convinced of things that seem unreasonable in both real life and in the book.

I agree that she is slowly being convinced that her situation is fair but at the same time I think that she knows that men hold all the power in her world. Do you think she wants to escape her current situation and what do you think would compel her to leave?

I agree that there is a lot of control in both of these books. Do you have any predictions of what Offred's next move might be?
