More from The Ofcast: A Handmaid's Tale Reader
Elsie and Max wonder about previous Offreds, attacks from the past, and... sex challenges?!
In this week's definitely not delayed episode, Max and Elsie discuss the weather in Gilead and the shocking twist at the end of the chapter.
The Ofcast spends the night with Offred, as Elsie and Max pay witness to three different memories from our hero's shadowed past - what do these flashbacks tell us? How does the delicate art of duck-feeding play into them? And what does an old PlayStation game have to do with anything? Memory Lane becomes a much darker place to visit on the luckiest episode of The Ofcast!
On this happy-go-lucky episode of The Ofcast, Elsie and Max arrive at the most pleasant and positive image described in The Handmaid's Tale so far: public execution! Isn't that wholesome?
As it turns out, Elsie and Max aren't the only ones visiting the Republic of Gilead. In this chapter, Offred comes in contact with a group of tourists from overseas, as a tragic cycle of totalitarian rule is given a proper introduction.
