Offred is a “Handmaid” and must wear a long red dress. The door has no lock, and it doesn’t shut all the way. There are no fixtures in the room by which anyone could hang herself. Offred now lives in a bedroom of a house with one window with shatterproof glass. At night, she and the other women whisper to each other, hoping to find someone who knew what happened to their friends and family.
