Republic of Gilead

There are many things that i find disturbing about the Republic Of Gilead. First off, the fact that the majority of society isn't allowed to express their selves in any way. Whether it's through reading, writing, sex, or even through their clothing, none of it is allowed in this society. This is what is most terrifying to me.
To me a good ending would be to have Offred or whatever her real name is to find her daughter and live happily ever after, it would also be cool if she got a big gun and went Rambo on all of the bad guys. but that wont happen I'm sure it will be more along the lines of her getting pregnant and falling in love with the commander or something lame like that.
what is confusing me is how this society has become so corrupt and mysterious in such a short period of time... what happened? Is it really only because of falling birth rates or is there something more to it?

  1. Will,

    That's quite the image: Offred 'going Rambo' on all these guys. Thanks for the chuckle!
