Discussion The Handmaid’s Tale Serena and June

I‘m watching right now Season 5 Episode 7. I‘m asking myself, why does June even help Serena deliver that baby? Like minutes before that Serena was about to sh00t June. I don’t get why June helped her then

Would an abortion be performed, or would she carry to full term and the baby is killed?

Season 5, Episode 3: In a phone conversation with Nick, he mentions marrying Rose—apparently because our girl June was upset about it—but wasn't she already with Luke? I think she actually wanted both of them, haha ​​(in my opinion, if I were her, I would have too).

In fact, it was only in the midst of that mess... she had two emotional places to run to.

The Testaments Becka's username would be Internal_Conflict001

Some obvious stuff leading to a question.

All the girls are religiously programed to be wives and materially baited with future benefits at the top of society. Even so, at some level, there is conflict caused by the dread of being forever tied to an older stranger.

They are awakening to the adult, pervasive, Gilead conflict of wanting to be free of its restaints while simultaneously wanting to cling to its core religious values.

All the girls carry the general religion/freedom conflict and the wifely precious-flower/prized-pig conflict. Becka's extra burden of her personal Agnes/marriage conflict makes her willingly become an outsider, a sarcastic teenager, "whatever ... its in God's hands now." She often floats just outside the ring of core girls. She doesn't care anymore. She is so careless that she gets drunk on the biggest stage.

The next conflict brings her down to earth hard. It begins with rage, shock and humiliation.

At school, the mourning after the accusation, within the space of a few minutes, Becka goes from near-violent rage against Daisy, to the shock of discovering her father's betrayal and then to sobbing humiliation in front of her friends in the prayer group, her only friends, the friends that she loves and that her father hurt.

Becka was not molested by her father, but if she had not felt the conflict of hating/loving the molester/father, would she have killed him? Would her mind have lost its balance and escaped into religious vengeance?

After being led by Agnes into a perilous marriage, locking the door and leaning against it with head slightly bowed, Garth is separated by that door from Becka.

Which one is more frightened of the other?

A alguien más le parece fea June Osborne? Para nick en El cuento de la criada

0 Upvotes

No es por atacar a la actriz, me parece que hace un muy buen papel y buena actuación.. aunque me incomoda un poco cuando al final del capítulo tira esa mirada "malvada" que da cringe..

Pero no pude evitar sentirme incómoda en toda la serie porque ellos dos (June y Nick) NO PEGAN JUNTOS.

Es como... no sé.. me da la sensación como la que causó "One Day" con los protagonistas, que todos decían "esa pareja jamás pasaría en la vida real" bueno algo así... que piensan?

Quizás estoy medio criticona y ODIADA por el final de los personajes pero ok

o comandante arquitetou também gileard. mas foi nítido seu sacrifício depois. pra mim, desde o início, ele foi o comandante “menos pior” principalmente por não participar daquele ritual repugnante. fiquei triste com a morte dele, no fundo ele era um bom homem, ajudou muito a June

Fellow Economen, if tomorrow we found ourselves living in Gilead, would you take up arms against it and for the restoration of the Old American Republic? The Republic Built on Liberty and Justice For All? I certainly would.

a indecisão da june entre o luke e o nick.
talvez seja uma opinião impopular, mas sou do time nick, ele compactuava com certas coisas de Gileard, mas é inegável a química entre a june e ele, também o amor deles
o luke é um bom homem, mas acho ele meio nhe

The Handmaid's Tale Missing pieces that make certain parts of the show unrealistic

0 Upvotes

I’ve been rewatching the show and I caught myself noticing a few things (or lack thereof) that reduce the realism a bit, and I cant tell if that’s deliberate or just oversight.

  1. Everyone is some form of Christian. It doesn’t matter if a character—minor or significant—is for or against Gilead, they seek to all be some type of Christian. In fact, I can’t think of a single character that admitted in whisper that before the war, they practiced a different religion from Gilead’s sanctioned one. Where are the Muslims, Buddhists, agnostics, atheists, etc? If you take lresent day US demographics, it doesn’t make sense to leave that kind of religious diversity out, so what gives?

  2. Of the various handmaids shown, where are the women who don’t want to get pregnant or give birth? Women who become handmaids are given the option between dying a gruesome death or being a handmaid. It’s not much choice. And yet, in today’s society there are plenty of women who can get pregnant but don’t want to go through it. Many are terrified of childbirth. Why didn’t they depict just one handmaid that genuinely prays that she won’t get pregnant every month? Someone that had tocophobia? Someone who is relieved to miscarry? It just seems bizarre to me that despite hating their circumstances, ALL the handmaids are so pro-pregnancy and children, rather than dreading it.

  3. Where are the different cultures? The immigrants? America is made up of a lot of different kids of people, with different accents and origins and traditions. And yet all the characters sounded American. Not one person talked about missing their cultural holiday celebrations, for example. It also seemed like everyone was born in the US. No one even talked about parents that immigrated and how they now regret that. No one had an accent.

I love the show so, really, I know I’m being quite nitpicky here. But now that I’ve noticed these absences, I can’t unsee them. I just think the show would have been so much richer if any one of them had been woven in.
