The vast power of Immortan Joe and the society he created imprints a sense of dominance over Furiosa. She does not initially try to kill Immortan Joe or to somehow give the people access to water, but she aims to run away. Her plan in is to simply take the Wives, run away to the Green Place, and live happily away from the patriarchy. Even after she learns that the Green Place is gone and that she has nowhere to go, her plan is to continue running away. She tells Max, “If we leave the Rig here, and load the motorcycles up with as much as we can, we can maybe ride for 160 days” (Mad Max: Fury Road). Her society has made her believe that the patriarchy is too strong to overcome, and she would rather run away for five months looking for something in an empty desert. It isn’t until Max proposes a plan to fight back that she considers the possibility of an end to the patriarchy. It is Max’s input that finally gives Furiosa something the patriarchy aimed to steal from its people,
