"A Rat in A maze is free to go anywhere, as long as it stays inside the maze"

In the world today many people are limited by the rules and regulation of a bigger power. Although some may claim that they are "free" they are still seriously limited. some of these include school, jobs, parents, and many more. In the Haidmaid's Tale, Offred is trained to believe that she is free, but she is so limited. she is completely dominated by the opposite sex, and the more elite. However, she is much to smart to think that she is considered free.

My favorite scene we have read so far is the scene in the doctor's office. Offred is confronted with an offer. an offer to sleep with the doctor and easily become pregnant, however she is smarter, and has much more dignity. She denies the offer, however, if i was in her situation i don't know what i would have done. The doctor informed her that she was slowly becoming less and less able to have a child. I would feel so much pressure to become pregnant and not be killed, that I very well might have taken him up on his offer.
