[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious about other people’s thoughts on why Serena took Eden’s death so badly. Seems like the standard consequence for the crime. I guess I’m just surprised she took it so hard.

I’m really getting tired of the close ups on June. It’s done several times each episode. I get it, she’s upset. [/quote]

I think Serena was devastated for several reasons. Eden was the kind of "good, pious girl" (her words) that Gilead was supposed to produce and reward. Serena liked and felt maternal toward her. But she chose "true love" over Gilead's ideology, which I suspect triggered her for several reasons. Serena, who despises her own husband, was sympathetic toward the young girl's quest for love and perhaps is realizing her loyalty to Giliead might not actually represent the right course of action. Presumably she would like" her own" daughter to experience love not just ideology and a bad arranged marriage.[/quote]

I think Serena is regretting everything, between the writing and reading with June and her treatment in Canada, she is starting to realize the full volume of her actions. She is even verbalizing what has been done (yelling at her husband for rape, as if she wasn't literally holding June down). [/quote]

Thanks to you both. I’m thinking her moral trajectory is shifting, too. It will be interesting to see the reasons surrounding next week’s sneak peek for her. [/quote]
