It could be that the narrator feels ashamed or guilty about some aspects of the story. In the world of Gilead, there are many complex and morally ambiguous situations. Maybe she's afraid of how others will judge her based on what she has to say.

The story might be so overwhelming that the narrator lacks the strength to tell it. The society depicted in 'The Handmaid's Tale' is a dystopia where basic human rights are violated. The weight of sharing such a story can be too much to bear, especially when considering the potential impact on the audience and the self - exposure it requires.

Well, it kind of does. The book reaches a point where the major events and the journey of the main character, like Offred's struggle and her relationship with the world around her in Gilead, come to a sort of conclusion. There are resolutions to some of the key plotlines, but it also leaves room for the reader to think about the future of that society. For example, we see what happens to Offred in the end, which is a significant part of concluding the story, but we also know that Gilead as a whole still has an uncertain future. So, overall, it does conclude the story on an individual level for the main character at least.
