[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Lydia going to try and make Janine an Aunt? I realize she’s still fertile, so that goes against their whole setup, but she obviously wants to keep her safe, but still have her be useful.[/quote]

I had the same thought. Despite Janine’s two #girlpower episodes, she has always been the Handmaids who seemed like she most liked the flavor of the Koolaid. She was glowing at Lydia’s praise, not just relieved.[/quote]

Janine just needs to be loved. By June, by Aunt Lydia, by the sleazy guy in Chicago-- doesn't matter who. [/quote]

[b]I think this is very unfair[/b]. Janine is a survivor - that’s why she’s still alive! She had a full breakdown and lost an eye, remember? Almost murder/suicided her baby? Janine has decided to get along as best she can wherever she finds herself.

There was a quote from John King in an article about going to visit the house in Maryland where his family were enslaved that comes to mind:
“ My ancestors must have had full lives, families, relationships, and joy and sadness, but their experiences were so bound up with their exploitation,” said John, 44, president of the Education Trust, a nonprofit group devoted to closing achievement gaps. “My wife and our two girls are living a life my ancestors could not have imagined, because of their perseverance. Their daily resistance by living their lives made possible ours.”[/quote]

The observation that Janine needs to be loved and have approval is spot on, it is not unfair. She is an excellent, sympathetic character who has moments of great strength and fortitude, she is very human. But it is not inaccurate to say that she definitely seeks approval.[/quote]

ita. The actress does such a brilliant job of tapping into the character's deep-seated vulnerability.[/quote]
