We are now at the end of the story. We kind of assume that Offred isnt the most reliable narrartor, mainly because she admits it herself.
I am intrigued to see the Anthropology associastion. I am minoring in Anthropology so I kind of felt connected to this part of the story.
We also learn that the society was a failure and taht there is an entire group dedicated to seeing how they became the minority. My final thoughts are that this is an okay story. Someone who is more into the womens rights scene and politics would enjoy this more than someone like me. Overall, it was barable.

More information on the "affair" going on. It kind of feels like Offred is taking control of the relationship, which is difficult to comprehend.
We are starting to see that the Commander doesnt really know much about how things function that dont revolve around him. He seems fairly innocent though.
We also see that Offred is the quick thinker, not letting the Commander show emotion for her outside of their Scrabble time. If they were to be caught, it is hard to say what would happen. Possibly him losing his role and her being killed or banished out of the society?

We are getting more information on the Commander. Turns out he and his wife arent extremely close and he is moving in on Offred. This is kind of fun to read about, it is better than her flashbacks and listening to the other women blab of freedom.
The Scrabble games make for some "bonding"? It is clear this is turning into an affair and I wonder how far they will go....

We have continuted to talk about THMT. It has gotten more interesting as the story has progressed.
We are no getting more information on the roles of the society and why people are named the way they are. The author seems to be having a lot of flashbacks that can cause for some confusion, but it is still barable.
I am interested in the Commanders and eyes and angels but it doesnt seem like we will ever really know their stories. It is intriuging that this story is set in the future. What does the author have in mind for our society?
