[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe waterford’s enemies have Serena arrested so they can get her to flip on him and provide testimony (knowing she hates him), or (not knowing they hate each other) to use her as leverage against him?  Not uncommon in Stalinist Russia to arrest the wife as leverage against the husband in the purges.

I doubt whitford is actually part of the resistance.  I bet he’s more like a pragmatist who rode the Giles’s train when it seemed like the winning ticket but isn’t really a believer.  He collects Gileqd offcasts so he can convince himself he’s not a totally terrible person.  Weren’t there Germans who played nice with the Nazis and maybe helped out one or two people, so long as they could do it without too much risk to themselves?  I think that’s him — he considers himself better than the Gilead religious freaks but is just COMPLICIT.
I think complicity with evil is one of the major themes of this show—we’ve seen how people like Serena and Lydia compromise some of their ideals for Gilead because of their belief system.  About time we have an atheist intellectual who is complicit for the sake of his own hide (and some nice modern art).[/quote]

That's a good point about whitford. His wife is against this how are they going to have the rape ceremony?[/quote]
