Chapters 18-39

In these chapters a lot has been revealed. One major thing that has been revealed is the beginings of the Republic  of Gilead. The republic of  Gilead started by the government taking away all the women's rights, they did not even let women spend their own money. The republic of Gilead seemed to have happened all in one day. Once they took away the power of women, they have also taken away some of the power that the men have. If the men did not have a higher power they will certainly be turned into puppets; just like Offred's boss. Offred's boss had no say when firing his female employees. Another thing that was revealed was the secret evenings Offred had with the Commander.  The Commander is the one who asks for her to come, and Offed agrees because she thinks that if she doesn't go there will be consequences. It's a little odd that the Commander wants her so that they could play games together and he brings her hand lotion and let's her read. There must be something behind all these actions. One last thing that was revealed was that Offglen is not a believer and there is a whole group of women who are not believers that Offglen belongs to. There are many things that have been revealed but there are many that are still hidden.
