Today, I was in the kitchen with Rita, when Offred came in for her normal morning routine. She was quiet as usual, but there was something wrong. When I did ask what was wrong, she said she could not tell me mostly because she was not supposed to feel the way she did. I was very suspicious about how she was acting, so I asked her again, and she just told me that she was better. I thought about it for a while and just realised that I should not worry about it, and I should do my work.
I am sort of jealous for Offred and the other handmaids, because they are able to have children. I wish that I could have a child of my own! At the same time, I kind of feel bad for them, because they cannot keep the child, they have to give it away to the commander and his wife. I do like Offred though, she is sweet and seems sensitive. I just wish I could get to know her better.

You are a Martha! Your not suppose to have feelings, your suppose to work, clean, and cook. Now get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich. God help me if it still has the crusts!
ReplyDeleteI see. Well, don't let Offred or Rita get to you or cause trouble. If they cause trouble, report it to me and I'll report them to the government.
ReplyDeleteWife, you do not own us. You may think that you do, you may believe that you do until your shrunken, putrid heart collapses, but you do not truly own us. My fellow Martha, my only advice for you is to take the time to organize your thoughts. Get your head in order, THEN speak,& only then.
