In the Hand Maid's Tale the Commanders have most of the power and power to govern and corrupt the system. Everyone is given a title and each title represents a position in the social structure and how much power over other they have.
Like out own society the system in The Hand Maid's Tale is split into social classes, sexes, occupations, and etc. It is a long and complex system of power. The Commanders secure power through manipulation and many countries today have leaders who are corrupt and who manipulate the system to gain what they want.
In my own life power is delegated by age and experience. Therefore adults are always more superior than anyone else. We are respect them and expect respect from them. Same goes with experience if someone is more experience at a certain task than you are you allow them to take charge and lead you through the processes. Power is a difficult thing to grasp and corruption happens all the time in every form of power. It can be just a small group of friends and corruption can exist.
