These last few chapters have really stirred things up and created some excitement. I was glad to hear that Moira escaped and got away from that dreadful place. She had a very well thought out plan and it worked. I'm surprised more of the girls don't rebel or try to escape.
I was very surprised when the Commander asked to see Offred, since it is so obviously forbidden. You would also think, since he holds such a high position, that he would want to enforce the laws and abide by them. However, I could also see how the Commander might want some excitement it his life since the society seems so dull and dreary. I thought it was really random that he chose to play scrabble, a game that was probably the worst they could play. Offred seems to be treading on thin ice here.. one wrong step and she's off to the colonies.. whatever that means.

hello Safa!
ReplyDeletei agree! i was really happy that Moira was able to escape. it definitely shows that there is hope in that society, for the women to break free and run away from the rules and restrictions. she reminds me of someone that is unconventional, someone who is always willing to break the rules and take a chance at life. i admire that.
i thought it was extremely creepy that the Commander asked Offred for a kiss at the end. But i thought it was nice that he wanted to play scramble with her. And i agree that the Commander wants excitement - and i also think it's true that, even in our society, just because someone has the power to enforce the rules, it doesn't necessary mean they will (the Commander is case and point.)
hope you enjoyed your comment! see you tomorrow ~_^
