[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I assume this goes back to the book since the series supposedly stays true to its source material but one thing I don't understand is why the infertile wives are kept around at all. With the way that society dismisses life it makes no sense that infertile wives aren't just disposed of in favor of the fertile women. In the show they seem to try and show that perhaps the wives are more traditionally beautiful and refined (maybe) but since they can't pass along their supposedly more refined genes, then what's the point?[/quote] The handmaidens are not supposed to be sexual or marital substitutes. They are wombs on legs. Which creates problems for the men as well, apparently.[/quote] They are also temporary and passed around. In the book, this is Offred's THIRD assignment. [/quote]
