In its fifth season, The Handmaid's Tale becomes more focused on the problems of complicity and of revolution that is individual rather than collective.
The problem with that turns out to be that to some women of Gilead , June is a leader of their critical resistance movement. And while she has freedrevenge, other women begin to look to her and wonder whether her fight has anything in it for anyone else. Because the other women, of course, want revenge as much as she did, and they helped her to get it. Now, they expect her to do the same, and they are dismayed that she has little taste for it.
In some past episodes, Serena has functioned as a different kind of victim, one certainly better off than June but one also suffering from violence . But she is now a figure almost entirely of menace. Fred has been replaced by Serena as the primary representation of Gilead's brutality. What's more, Serena wants June executed — she wants it so specifically that she wants Canada to change its entire legal approach to capital punishment just for this purpose.
Stories about survivors of trauma often focus on a portrayal of them as weeping, lost, and seeking only peace. At this point, the most daring thing aboutmay be its willingness to explore trauma as a driver of rage that demands retribution and can lead to tunnel vision and the loss of all other purpose in life, not a wound that responds reliably to love or leads inevitably to growth.
