Starting The Handmaid's Tale

Starting out The Handmaid's Tale is interesting, and I have done a character analysis of the first two parts of the book:
In The Handmaid’s Tale Offred is a flat character because she is portrayed as a character that only does what she is told to do. She is a very obedient character that is narrating the story. She can be seen as an flat character when she talks to the Commander’s wife, as well as when her and Ofglen are shopping. Ofglen and Offred are partners, and they do not know much about each other, but they know the routine. The  quotes “I know better than to say yes,” “I walked to the corner and wait. I used to be bad at waiting,” and “Yes, Ma’am,” all show her obedient personality as she progresses through the first parts of the novel. Offred is shown as the protagonist in the story, though she is only seen as a possession to many people in her life. Her name Of-Fred show that they see her this way. This makes her an even more vital character to the story to see how she deals with how she is treated throughout the story. She can be seen as sympathetic when she has flashbacks to a simpler time. These show that she is still human, as well as develop her character even further by revealing facts about her past. She was married to a man named Luke, and the had a child together. This story is very interesting, as I continue reading the book I will try to write more about it on the blog.
