Chapter 4 quotes



"The truth is that she is my spy as I am hers." (Pg. 29)

"She may be a real believer, a Handmaid in more than name. I can't take the risk" (pg 29)

These quotes suggest how there might be rebells among the woman and how there are believers and other who are just Handmais by name but not by spirit. I think that this means that some people have adapted, whereas some pretend to have. This also shows, Offred, who considers other Handmais a threat, can't trust people. She think twice before speaking and she needs to make sure she trust the right people with her rebelious secret.
