Warning: Full spoilers for The Handmaid's Tale: Season 1 finale below.
“There’s a hope, it seems, in futility,” Elisabeth Moss’ Offred muses toward the end of the Season 1 finale of The Handmaid’s Tale.
It comes just after Offred and her fellow Handmaids -- women who are regularly raped in the interest of procreation -- have committed one of the biggest acts of protest against their new regime. A fellow Handmaid has been convicted of endangering a child, and the women are tasked with carrying out her Biblical punishment: death by stoning.
Throughout the previous nine episodes, we’ve seen just how brutal and heartless the leaders of the new society Gilead can be -- all in the name of serving God, of course -- but also just how hypocritical. Women have all been relegated to roles of servitude, and they’ve all eventually just barely accepted that this is their new reality. Of all the atrocities they face on a daily basis, though, it seems killing one of their own is a line they cannot cross, and one by one they stand up against the people attempting to force them to carry out the punishment.
