Although Offred does not openly show contempt for the rules and regulations Gilead has placed on its women, inside she secretly resists Gilead’s beliefs. She revels in the small rebellions she can get away committing, and in the secrets she keeps. When her doctor offers to try and impregnate her, she acknowledges that this offering is “a way out, a salvation” (69) from the possibility of much worse life if her Commander fails to impregnate her himself, but still she hesitates to make this rebellious move against what Gilead has decreed to be acceptable. The phrase Offred finds hidden in the corner of room: “Nolite te bastardes carborundorum” (58), becomes her motivation, her starting point to quietly rebel against the oppression of Gilead. Although she does not know the English translation of the phrase—“Don’t let the bastards grind you down” (216)—the secret nature of this hidden writing is victory enough against the oppression of Gilead. With the discovery of this secret phrase, there is a subtle shift in Offred’s character; no longer does the society completely control her, for she has discovered something that has slipped past the careful eye of Gilead, and this gives her hope.
