Offfred is taken away from her loved ones and is forced to go live with a man they call the Commander where her only purpose is to have children for him."Nobody dies from lack of sex. Its from lack of love we die from. There's nobody here I can love, all the people I could love are dead or somewhere else." Offred was ripped away from her life with her loving husband and everyone else she cares about and thrown into this new one where she's alone and isolated without her opinion mattering anymore. She no longer hold value as an individual anymore her value is all based on whether she can reproduce. And she knows all this she realizes is; and understands that to the Commander she has no special significance. "What he is doing is f*cking the lower part of my body. I do not say making love because this is not love making". Offred acknowledges that she wont ever feel loved again that once the war in her town started that all that was taken away from her and all the other woman in her town and ultimitly her demise contributes to the over all novel by showing the way women such as Offred lived before they lost their right and how they felt after.
