[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 think she very much wants a baby. They were trying for a baby even before the rise of Gilead and she's the only wife we see take an affirmative interest in baby Angela, show affection for her, etc. (in such stark contrast to Angela's "mother," who very clearly doesn't want to have a baby). I think Serena's rage comes from a lot of things, but I think part of it is that she really wanted to have a family, she can't get pregnant, and she has to go through this exercise of watching her husband have sex with another woman, and then watch that other woman have all of the experiences of pregnancy that doesn't get to have, etc., in her own home. And it's not even like she's allowed to have feelings about that, she's instead expected to celebrate this new world order and her and the handmaids places in it.[/quote]
