well, I just want to touch on the subject of sex AGAIN. I mean, while at the club, Offred had to have sex with the commander and she REALLY didn't like it. She showed that she was really indifferent towards him and she really thought he was disgusting. She thought he was just a dirty old man. However, the first time she had sex with Nick, she liked it. She barely knew the guy but she enjoyed having sex with Nick. Although she knew the commander before and she even said she liked him under different circumstances, why is it that she liked sex with Nick and not the commander? I thought that this just makes her more of a slut. I mean, she said that she thought the commander was old and ugly and shriveled up. She only wanted to fake it with him so that he wouldn't feel bad. However, she thought Nick was great, and she thought that he could be Luke's replacement. Obviously, her real characters is shown right at this moment. Despite her being a homewrecker before, now, she betrays the man she claimed to love and have sex with another man and enjoys it. Throughout the whole book, I kind of thought that Moira is the slutty one, or at least the one that would be deemed by society as troublesome and I thought that the main character would have been a good and pure person. After reading this part however, I thought that Moira is better than Offred because she has beliefs. She understands what she wants while Offred is someone who just goes with the flow.
