In "The Handmaid's Tale", Jenny finds optimism after despair, and Emily falls into hatred after being frustrated by rebellion, and the two are the two extremes of love and hate, like the two sides of a coin. But whoever they are, their choices are not deliberate, and they seem reasonable to the audience, smoothly moving the plot forward (even small characters like Eden have their own highlight moments, which play a key role in driving the story). The one that appealed to me the most in the show was Serena. It's a contradictory character.
On the one hand, he is a capable and independent woman, she and her husband jointly started a career, under great pressure to give speeches, decisively and wisely solved the difficulties that men could not solve when diplomatic bottlenecks encountered, and visited Canada is full of yearning and respect for freedom, and should be a feminist; on the other hand, he believes in the "laws" and "God" of Gilead, sacrifices himself and all other women, and helps his husband build a patriarchal society to get his children.
If the first season is slightly long, then the second season is absolutely wonderful and shocking, the pursuit of human rights and equality is too difficult, some women have become accustomed to it, some are still struggling to resist, again and again resistance and failure, from hope to despair, June thought of compromise, but never gave up. June is June and May day is May, representing the hope of resisting oppression – a triumph of equal freedom and human rights for women.
For the end of the second season, Joan resolutely handed Nicole to Emily to take to Canada, and when the camera was shown standing behind the car, I felt strongly that she would definitely stay. Maybe this kind of screenwriting style is a little inclined to cause criticism, but it is still sneaky inside, because the story is not over, this season is definitely Selena, the image leaves a deep impression, and whenever the previous episode thinks she will awaken, the next episode becomes the devil again.
Perhaps she could not admit in her heart that the current collapsed Gilead was the gileading country that she had withstood the pressure and fought hard for its speech, so she avoided it again and again. Gilead was like an ideal realization to her, and actually seeing it decaying and discovering that it had gone beyond her own vision was indeed too cruel for a person. If she was alone, she would probably have let herself get used to it, slowly accepted it all, paralyzed herself, but the arrival of the child stimulated her.
Seeing that Eden, who was only fifteen years old, was executed by the perverted system for love, the inner wall collapsed. So they joined forces with the other bishops' wives, hoping to win the right to read the scriptures for the children, but the bishop smiled and comforted her and immediately turned her face and ordered someone to cut off his wife's finger. All this paved the way for her to finally let Joan leave with the child, and Selena was a very good mother. Expect next season to be a shift towards real women.
