That is why the night scenes are so important in the novel. In the night scenes, Offred finds herself. The other handmaid's do not have this luxury. They are incredibly depressed.

Why do econwives hate the handmaids?
Handmaids wear red and their job is to get pregnant. The econowives on the other hand are both marthas and handmaids. They do all the house cleaning and they have to get pregnant. The econowives are jealous of the handmaids because they are able to rest. They do not have to worry about cooking and cleaning. When the handmaids get pregnant, the handmaid's are taken care of by the commander's wives and marthas but the econowives have to take care of themselves as well as the house work. The econowives also think of the handmaids as whores for they have to sleep with commanders when in fact they are not like prostitutes since they are doing it against their will and find their lives unhappy. This is why many handmaid's kill themselves.
