When Offred begin her affair with Nick, she becomes complacent and deveops a sense of contentment with her life. This is prime example unto the reason why such states as Gilead survive; so long as there are enough compensations to maintain stagnancy in the mind of its subjects, oppressive regimes will remain unchallenged. This reminds me of the perpetual state of ignorance seen in the characters of Brave New World.
