“Ordinary, said Aunt Lydia, is what you are used to. This may not seem ordinary to you now, but after a time it will. It will become ordinary” (Atwood 33).

                   This quote relates to my analysis of human nature in situations of crisis. Aunt Lydia tells the women of Gilead that they will become used to the ways of Gilead and chillingly, Offred starts to feel emotionless as she stared at the new dead bodies being punished by having their dead body displayed on the wall for all to see their crime. To survive, Offred and people within our society conform to feel comfort. Even if citizens do not agree with how their lives are being controlled, subconsciously or consciously, we as humans accept our environment to carry on with our lives.
