Clearly there is this main theme of class and gender, which is portrayed even through the dresses that these people wear, but what would happen if there were no dresses to match the peoples new “class," would this system work, or would there be confusion since now the guardians wont know who they are watching? Without their uniforms could there be order? And was it really necessary to install figures that are actual “Eyes,” are not all characters “eyes” since they can “gaze” and judge each other?
If Offred had stopped being so nostalgic for her “past life” and past “liberated state”, then would her transition into this new “force,” been easier? Are there these constant flashbacks more for the reader to understand how Offred’s world has drastically changed, or is to emphasize the fact that Offred will never fully mentally morph into her “new role” as a handmaid?
