The Handmaid's Tale pages 251-311

Serena Joy gets Offred hooked up with Nick. Offred doesn't stop after that night though, she continues to go see nick. The ceremony of the hangings had a big impact on Offred. After seeing that she felt that she would do anything just to live. When meeting up with Ofglen the next time she noticed this was a different Ofglen. She was very skeptical of this Ofglen and wondered what had happened to the previous Ofglen. Then this Ofglen told her that she had hung herself. Offred didn't know if she could believe her but upon hearing this considered that plan for herself. She had suicide running across her mind especially when Serena Joy accused of doing something wrong. The black van came and she was worried that her punishment was coming. However this punishment was not from Serena Joy to her surprise and it may not even have been a punishment after all. Nick Told her not to worry that it as "Mayday" and seh was being saved. As readers we never know what really happened to Offred. It is up to us to make our own assumption. I believe Nick truely was a good guy and was trying to help her, otherwise why would he have kept letting her in his door night after night. Of course, this is what everyone wants  to believe.
