The commanders wives who are the the ones at the top statues wear a blue dress”. “The handmaid’s are the women who are fertile and assigned a household who can not birth a child and are to birth the commanders child for him and his wife, these women wear all red and a white cap around their forehead”(Atwood 24). …show more content…
Men in the society are “the commander,gardeners, the guardians and the angels.
The commanders are seen as a big boss, the head of the household. The commanders are the ones who support the women of the home and make sure everything is going in order that it should be in. The guardians they are the busboys to the commander, he is the one who drives the commander and the commander's wife & handmaid places. The are many angels in the society of gilead they have multiple responsibilities based on their roles. There are angels who are made to be security at gates to check ID’s, there are angels who are driving vans that are for birth mobiles, protect the citizens and keep order in the society. Many guardians who are not assigned a household are the “eyes” to others being around the society they are the secret
police.
Those who do go against the gilead government women or men are either working at an underground society and or hung on the wall in the town to show others what happens when they go against the gilead government. Women who leave the society work in “jezebels”. Jezebels is a place where women work as escorts in a way men go there to either just have a good time with one another and talk with women or have a private time together. Jezebel women wear what's described as a playboy outfit. Women and or men who do go against the government hang themselves due to the fact that they do not want to be in the salvaging or hung on the wall. The salvaging is where they are put in room surrounded by others and beaten to death. Everyone in the society is being separated by their statues in the society and by their decisions. This relates to our time now as teens we are judged based on our decisions of what we wear,do, and or say. This stories outline can relate to real life based on labels. Everyone is labeled by every decision is made in a split second.
