Question

In a novel, the name of one of these people is found in the genealogical record by a character raised by Tabitha. Two of these people look into each other’s eyes for the first time via a reflection off the window of Soul Scrolls. While returning from the market, two of these people often stop at the Wall to observe executed bodies hanging from (10[1])it. One of (10[1])these people carves a fake Latin phrase meaning “Don’t let (10[1])the bastards grind you down” into a closet floor. At the end of a novel, Nick tells one of these people that a black van is with the Mayday resistance. At the Red Centre, Aunt Lydia educated one of these people who later plays Scrabble with the Commander behind the back of his wife Serena Joy. For 10 points, Offred is what type of person whose Tale titles a novel by Margaret Atwood? ■END■
