Scene Summary and Context Guide
In Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, Offred is a woman living in the dystopian society of Gilead, where women are strictly controlled and assigned roles. This scene captures her internal reflection as she navigates her restricted environment, often recalling her past freedoms. Offred's narrative is marked by subtle shifts in tone, revealing her resilience and quiet rebellion. For example, she describes a moment of observing her surroundings and reflects on her feelings of entrapment and longing for freedom. The language is precise and carefully chosen to convey both her external circumstances and her internal struggles. A key phrase from her reflection is: 'Sometimes I think I should just run away.'
