Words: 983 / Pages: 4 .... This group, in which Offred's mother would be a member,
is sensitive to the censorship that women once faced and would show
interest to the "possible future" that could result.
Offred is symbolic of "every woman". She was conventional in prior

begun to accept the words of Aunt Lydia, or more likely, is she silent to
create emphasis on the horrific deed? The ans .....

Is the friendship Augustine mentions lustful or sincerely about love? “Thus I polluted the stream of friendship with the filth of unclean desire and sullied its limpidity with the hell of lust.” (pg. 35) Obviously Augustine is letting the idea of love turn straight to lust. He talks about unclean desires, but he says he wants to be clean and courtly. Maybe Augustine has the wrong idea about love. Love is when you care deeply about someone and will do anything for them. Thinking about sexual desires and physical attractions are defining lustful ideas. Is Augustine talk .....

case of the villains, but rather as a divine reward. This is displayed
when Ca .....
