During the Wuhan virus period, I finished the three seasons at once, and recorded my feelings. The plot begins with Joan's self-report. Joan has just arrived at Fred's house, and Selena warns her that Fred or her husband should not be delusional. Selina is a woman with her own ideas. Before the country of Gilead was established, she spoke as a representative and was a highly educated woman with her own career. She is a former author and has published a very popular book. In the three seasons, she contradicts her desire for freedom, desires her husband's former love, and wants a child of her own. She loves Fred, but she wants a baby to become a mother, so she will betray Fred later. Getting used to one place always creates a fear of change. In the previous episode, Selena knitted sweaters and raised flowers. Her appearance was very beautiful. She was definitely the most outstanding one when she stood with other ladies.
The heroine Joan used to be an editor and lived happily with her lover's daughter. Some people say that the heroine is not so good-looking, but this drama belongs to her. Women who were able to bear children after the founding of the kingdom of Gilead were captured and used as maids to bear children for the country. I don’t know how many years ago the feudalism of this country of Gilead happened. Women would have their little fingers cut off when they read books, and women would be eaten alive by dogs for contraception. The whole country believed in Jesus, but nothing could be praised by human nature. Every thing has a different way of dying. It was God's will to let the maid who suffered the most carry out the execution.
The first season was more of Joan's memories, and the collision of modernity and feudalism took me two seasons to get used to. The uniform red clothes of the maids here represent being ruled and preventing escape. Here, the maids go out every day to purchase and accompany them, which is actually surveillance. Each maid did not have her own name, it was the name of the archbishop. Joan and Gray initially distrusted each other, until one day Joan told her her name, and the next day Gray was taken away and had her clitoris cut off.
The emotional line between Joan and Nick affects the follow-up development. At first, the two were ambiguous with each other. Selena let Nick and Joan have a child, which promoted the two of them to be together, and Nick helped Joan escape, and later the child's escape. In this cruel and bloody world, Joan helps others by maintaining her sanity and kindness, earning respect among the Handmaiden and Martha.
Selena and Joan are a contrast, and it can be seen from the memories that Fred and Selena are very affectionate. Selena misses and longs for her previous relationship with Fred and also longs for freedom. She looks at the uniform-colored dresses in the closet. She knits sweaters and grows flowers. During the second season, when Fred was hospitalized, she picked up a pen to write and chat with Joan. joyous. When she accompanied Fred to Canada for the first time, she was invited by Canada to live a free life, but she ignored it because she loved Fred and was occasionally satisfied with the world she created, She finally made a choice because of Nicole. She also had struggles and contradictions. She broke her pinky so that Nicole could go to court, and she also let Nicole go. Selena gave Joan a music box. She was also a little girl. Later, when Selena returned to her parents' home, her mother's thoughts made her difficult to accept, and she did not speak to Fred. She had struggles and cravings.
Joan is really a modern woman in general, she is in love with a married man, but they are in love and have a daughter. It can be seen from the memories that derailment in this society will not be executed, and homosexuality is also acceptable. The heroine's performance can be called perfect, she is approaching Fred and talking to Selena. She is very strong and strong. She tried her best to live, and finally helped so many children escape. She amazed me time and time again.
The first time the heroine escaped, she stayed in the building for more than two months. She was pregnant and had already boarded the plane, but she failed to escape successfully. Because of the child, she was not punished. She persuaded Selena to fight for women's rights, she led the inferior crowd in this country, she was kind and upright. Facing the torture of the soul, will you go?
