When Offred tells her that she isn't, Serena Joy surprises Offred by claiming that the Commander is probably unable to create a child and suggests that perhaps Offred should sleep with Nick to try to get pregnant. ### Serena Joy's offers ![Serena Joy's offers](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/courseImages/biology/2.4.1/cigarette-110849_640-min.jpg) - Unsure of whether this is a test or a trick, Offred agrees to try to keep Serena Joy happy, and, due to her obedience, Serena Joy offers to show Offred a photograph of her daughter and gives her a contraband cigarette to smoke. ### Key quotations ![Key quotations](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-09/21e740a4-9281-4588-bd55-9df4d9dc8066/baby-2387661_1920.jpg) - **"Jezebel's"** - Jezebel was a depraved Israeli queen who features in the Bible in 1 Kings. - In _The Handmaid's Tale_, Jezebel's is a nightclub/brothel. The women in Jezebel's offer men sex and are viewed as corrupt. There is irony in this - they are essentially sex-slaves. - **"September First will be Labour Day"** - An American holiday celebrating employees. Atwood satirises this idea by celebrating women giving birth in Gilead. ### Key quotations (cont.) ![Key quotations (cont.)](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-10/dac09373-976c-4f38-bf17-533dc15912e9/girl-child-.jpg) - **"They'd throw buns at her"** - Moira is talking about a past time when male undergraduates had difficulty accepting a girl scholar. Offred is taken aback as when she was young, women were treated as equals at University. This shows that Gilead has digressed to a situation where women can't be educated. - **"Something chokes in my throat"** - Offred's brief feelings of ‘collusion' with Serena Joy disappear when she realises that Serena Joy has always known the whereabouts of her child. ## Test yourself on Chapter 31 - What does Serena Joy suggest, after Offred tells her she's not pregnant? - What does Labour Day celebrate in Gilead?
