Tentative Paper Topic

I have been switching my paper topic too many times to count. At first, I wanted to write of Moira and how her character changes from the idea Offred makes of her till when she meets her again. Then I switch to the resistance (Mayday) and how Ofglen and Nick were a part of it until the ending in which he still leads Offred to believe the men taking her were a part of the resistance. Now I'm on loss of Identity talk about how people lose their true identity or individuality under the government. Examples are when they switch houses they switch names to Of____. Also, the eyes, the angels, the commander, we never learn of their names, we only know Serena Joys because of Offred seeing her on tv when she was young. Janine's and Moira's names are known only because she knew them in the past. Finally how after someone is put to death they aren't even allowed an identity because they have bags over their heads hanging on the wall.
The only part I find strange is that Rita, Cora,  and Nick are called by their names, but not really anyone else.
