[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This week's episode isn't as bad p.p I actually felt a tiny bit bad for Serena joy[/quote] Does anyone else get the feeling that Serena doesn't even want a baby? She seems so consumed by her limited role in society and her anger that she seems almost forced into wanting a baby. +1 to more backstory into other characters. I would love to see their lives before the regime change. [/quote] I have to say the two things that ruin the show for me if I allow myself to think about them are 1) why these women want babies so bad and 2)why the handmaids don’t just stay at the red center and the wives adopt. I want babies but if I couldn’t have them not sure it would make me insane/evil. And adoption is fine in Gilead, so there’s that option, and for paternity they could just go to the red center for the rape ceremony. . [/quote] The answer to both your questions is that even the upper class women don't have any say or control. It doesn't matter if they want babies; having babies is so necessary to the social order that they are not allowed to contemplate another life. And the handmaids live with the families so that the commanders can rape them more often and so that the wives have control over someone else so that they don't rebel over their own lack of power (sort of how racism among lower class whites has always been encouraged to avoid a class based rebellion).[/quote]
