Offred is a Handmaid in The Republic of Gilead. She is placed in the household of The Commander, Fred Waterford ? her assigned name, Offred, means ?of Fred?. She has only one function: to breed. If Offred refuses to enter into sexual servitude to repopulate a devastated world, she will be hanged. Yet even a repressive state cannot eradicate hope and desire.
