At the start of this novel I was curious on why the gym was so well descripted. It seemed like it was more of a prison than anything. When Offred was placed into the room it seemed to be an improvement until it went into detail about how it is nonsuicidail and she can't escape. Offred seems to be used for reproduction, but I'm not sure yet. The angles spark my curiousity and why they cannot look at the women.
I think it is weird that Offred is able to go shopping in such a strict society. I thought she was young until she thought of her husband and kid in her past life before this society.
The religion and state seem like they are not separated anymore since aboritions are harsly punished and young men cannot masturbate because it is a sin. Then why can the handmaids be used?
It is also weird how Offred cannot remember how her daugheter got taken away from her cleary.
Another thing that bothers me is how the woment are so controlled, not just by men, but by the aunts too.
It is also strange how Offred knew how the woman looked liked and acted like that scribbled the Latin phrase on the floor.
