The Wall

The Republic of Gilead a place were only a few know the real truth and the rest of the people just listen to what they are told. The people of Gilead are completely brainwashed and for the most part do what they are told to in their every day life's. The most disturbing part of the Republic of Gilead is the unknown factor of the city. Offred has no idea of what is going to happen to next. She may be sent to the colonies, she has no identity except her commander. Also the fact that she doesn't know where luke is he may be killed,or maybe he is behind the wall that Offred walks past all the time. The fact that Offred doesn't know were her past or future is going, is the part that disgusts me the most. Hopefully as I read on hopefully we will figure out what is behind that wall, and also figure out where Offred's family is.

  1. Jerry,

    Given your frustration, I am particularly interested in learning what you think of the ending (in which some, though by no means all, of your questions may be addressed. Just make sure that you read the "Historical Notes".
