The Handmaid's Tale

Everyone in the world is different; everyone thinks differently and acts differently. That is the same way in this story. All of the characters think and act differently. Some are traditional, some follow the rules, others don't. Now, where do I fit in in this story? What character would I think and act like?
I believe I would be a handmaid or a commanders wife. A handmaid is a woman who is fertile, who provides a baby for the commanders wife. The commanders wife is kind of like a queen in a way. She is married to the commander, who is head of the household. 
I believe I would be Moira in this story. I think I would be rebellious like her. However, I don't think I would hurt anyone in the process of trying to leave the household. I would like to think that I am a good friend and would be there in a friends time of need. 
Like I said before, everyone is different, which means I am different from Moira. Even though I think I would be similar to her, I would not think or act exactly like her.
