Ultimately for me, it's ended up as a glass half-full/half-empty scenario where with each reread, I interpret it differently depending on what kind of reading I'm doing.
At 17, I was infuriated by Atwood for leaving it so open, but now I am appreciative of the open ending. So many different interpretations makes for such a richer text, don't you think?

Awesome! Thanks! :)

Thanks!"
Nick was dfinitely one of the good guys. The film version makes it clear that he was part of the rebellion attempting to topple the existing oppresive regime.
