No disrespect to Margaret Atwood or to anyone who likes the book, the story is a good coming-of-age about sisterhood, but let me fealing like the story is incomplete, we keep being told in the epilogues of both books that Gilead is going to fall thanks to the main character's actions, but we are never shown it

In my opinion, the first book is am importan pice of literature, the sequel is just fine, and to be honest, apart from Aunt Lydia's backstory, very forgettable

I hope the show lets us see Giliad be destroyed

Please tell me your opinion on the book. I have no one in my life that have read it, so I would love to talk about it with you guys

My friend has not see tht only the testaments, and he sends me a message out of nowhere, omg the Marthas are slaves, and I am like yeah we know it's kinda funny and it makes me worry about his attention span all at the same time.

I feel bad for Miriam, she is cooked and all because Paula tripped her. 2 Paula wants a handmaid, so she is going to force a girl to do the ceremony, and then steal the baby. 3 all the microaggressions with Agnes, Paula is bad, and I don't get why people still defend her

Commander MacKenzie is a coward; he is going to let her daughter be married to that old man even though he knows it is wrong and second, he is going to have a handmaid just cuz Paula wants a baby; so he is going to force some poor woman, not being a R is his only redeming quality but he cant say no to his wife is good that he cares for Paula but there is a line come on he should get a spine say no and do something useful with his power

Commander Weston is acting and trying to manipulate Agnes. The cognitive dissonance you have to have to believe the girl you are forcing to marry you should have fun planning the wedding is incredible, and before Giliad, he had a record, so I am so afraid he is going to hurt her

Dr Grove came up to Agnes and Hulda at Becca's engagement party and talking about their next visit that was gross. He is lucky that the girls did not freak out and ruin both his life and the party. Hopefully, Lydia will deal with him soon

But will this affect Becca's place in Gilead, like it is obviously not her fault, but if her dad is disposed of or sent to the Colonies, what happens to her and her mum, do they become econowoman, or will they move the wedding up?

First, Commander MacKenzie is a coward; he is going to let her daughter be married to that creep even though he knows it is wrong and second, he is going to have a handmaid just cuz Paula wants a baby; so he is going to force some poor woman, not being a R is his only redeming quality but he cant say no to his wife is good that he cares for Paula but there is a line come on he should get a spine say no and do something useful with his power

Second, Weston is love bombing, Agnes. The cognitive dissonance you have to have to believe the girl you are forcing to marry you should have fun planning the wedding is incredible, and before Giliad, he had a record for domestic violence, so I am so afraid he is going to hurt her

Is it logical that microdata refinement dislikes him, but the way he is treated by the company is so weird, the racist blackface paintings them, they all use big words and speak in a cultish way, but it's a problem that Seth uses them?

Is it just regular old racist behaviour, or is there more to it because he got hired by them, so they must want him there, but he is going to get tired of their shit if they keep treating him like garbage

Like Paula is to Agnes as Serena was to June, both Serena and Paula have moments of kindness that humanise them, but they truly only care about getting what they want, in the case of Serena, a baby and in the case of Paula, status, and they don't care if June and Agnes have to get r*p* for them to get it I mean, Paula just referred to Agnes as a horse Comander Weston is going to enjoy breaking in

Not because I ship them, but because he seems to be the only option who is not a nonce she already suffered so much
