The episode opens on a woman, a man, and their little girl gunning it down a re- mote road in their car. Sirens are heard in the distance, it’s clear that they’re be- ing chased. Their car gets stuck in a ditch after losing control, so the man tells the woman to take the little girl and to run into the woods about two miles north, where someone will meet them. Before they get very far, there are three gun- shots back at the car. For a moment, the woman stands there, stunned, before she scoops up her daughter and continues to run. Nearby, men’s voices grow louder, so the woman and her daughter hide. The men have guns, and are mere steps away from their hiding place. They start running again and, sure enough, the gunmen catch up, wrench the little girl out of her mother’s arms as she pleads with them not to do so. Ugh, heartbreaking. Mom is knocked unconscious and dragged off screen, then loaded into the back of a van. In the background, we see their crashed car, but no sign of the man anywhere. In voice-over, the woman from the woods takes stock of her sunlit bedroom, dressed now in a red habit and white bonnet. The woman is a Handmaid whose name is Offred. She had another name, "but it’s forbidden now. Offred has a sit-down with, let’s call her Mrs. Green Dress who is clearly in charge of this house. Mrs. Green Dress (MGD) compares the last Handmaid she had to a "dog, only not a very smart one." Charming. MGD runs down the house rules for Offred, the first of which is "don’t call me ma’am. You’re not a Martha." Who are the Marthas and why do they have to call you ma’am? Commander Fred Waterford, MGD’S husband, enters. Offred greets him by saying, "Praise be to you. May God make me truly worthy." I’m from the South, so I’m used to a smattering of non- sequitur God references peppering conversations, but she said, "Praise be to YOU" — meaning the Commander. 3 The Handmaid’s Tale Episode Guide Anyway, MGD stares him down, with that look wives give when they’re warning their hus- bands not to flirt with that woman. He smartly heeds her silent warning, sheepishly startsto retreat out of the room with a "Nice to meet you." Successful first interaction over, right? Think again. Offred screws up by replying, "you too." Everyone immediately reacts as if she farted. Com- mander W leaves, but it’s too late because MGD is super annoyed by this point. Offred is to be seen as little as possible. She goes on to remind Offred that the Commander is HER husband, ’til death do they part. And then she throws in the fancy lady version of "don’t start none, won’t be none," which is, "If I get trouble, believe me, I will give trouble back." Close-up on Offred’s clenched fist after MGD leaves the room. I think Offred might start none, y’all. And asaresult, there might be none. We then meet Rita, who is "a Martha," making bread from scratch. Marthas have to do things that are considered "a return to traditional values," code for keeping yet another group of women deemed worthless trapped in the kitchen all day making a bunch of bleeping bread for MGDs and Commanders. Rita’s annoyed at Offred’s very existence. She sends Offred to the market to shop for groceries, which she’s forced to do with her "friend," fellow Handmaid, Ofglen. Offred mentally derides Ofglen as a "pious little shit with a broomstick up her ass." Can’t wait to meet her, she sounds lovely. As Offred leaves the Waterford property, she encounters Nick, the Commander’s driver, who’s hauling dirt in a wheelbarrow and who looks very fine doing so. They have a brief conversation about what she’s going to buy and it’s subversively flirty, more on his part than hers. Ofglen and Offred head to the store, discussing nothing, yet speaking volumes. They distrust each other and suspect the other is a spy. After shopping, they walk home, passing a wall where three men are hung: a priest, a doctor, and a gay man, further informing us about the kind of America this has become. Offred flashes back to her first day at Handmaid indoctrination class. A stern, militant woman in a potato sack style brown dress, explains God’s revenge on them for being toxic polluters and whores: the plague of infertility. She rails against birth control pills, morning after pills, abortion, and even Tinder. Yikes. As Offred takes a seat, she spots Moira, and flashes back to life before all this insanity. They’re at some sort of outdoor party. We find out, a) they’re old friends and, b) Moira is a lesbian. Potato Sack Lady lectures about how they’re blessed because they’ve been "left intact" by God, meaning they can have children. Their job will be to serve as baby-makers for the leaders of this hell on earth and their barren wives. It’s abundantly clear that Potato Sack Lady really and truly believes they’re lucky to have this gig. Easy for her to say: she’s beyond child-bearing age. Janine, another Handmaid newbie next to Offred, is just not buying any of this garbage. Fed up with her attitude, Potato Sack Lady welcomes Janine to the "Rachel and Leah Centre" (biblical references), by shocking her in the neck with a cattle prod and the symbolism is overt. Two other Potato Sack Ladies drag Janine out of the room. Potato Sack Lady continues to lecture, "Ordinary is just what you’re used to. This may not seem ordinary to you right now. But after a time, it will. This will become ordinary." At bedtime, in a giant cafeteria full of cots, Offred explains to Moira that she tried to escape with her daughter but couldn’t. Moira swears that she will find Offred’s daughter and that all this "crazy sh*t is gonna end." I love Moira for that. Moira goes on to tell Offred that her girlfriend, Odette, was rounded up in a purge, reclassified as an "Unwoman," and sent to the colonies. I thought Handmaids had it bad. Unwomen have it worse. Now we know that if they find out Moira is a lesbian, she’ll be reclassified as anUnwoman. Janine is dragged in and put on a cot, with a bandage around her head, whimpering. Come to find out, they removed her right eye because, "If my right eye offends thee, pluck it out."(Matthew 5:29). Nothing justifies violence like a bible quote.

She cannot praise his damask skin, Still less the suit he’s wrapped it in; And even if he’s like Apollo To gaze upon, it does not follow That she may specify the features That mark him off from other creatures. No rime can hymn her great occasion But by a process of evasion; And so she gives the problem over, Describes her love, but not her lover, Despairs of words to tell us that Her heart sings his magnificat.

  • Contemporary Nordic Literature and Spatiality
    GEOCRITICISM AND SPATIAL LITERARY STUDIES Contemporary Nordic Literature and Spatiality Edited by Kristina Malmio Kaisa Kurikka Geocriticism and Spatial Literary Studies Series Editor Robert T. Tally Jr. Texas State University San Marcos, TX, USA Geocriticism and Spatial Literary Studies is a new book series focusing on the dynamic relations among space, place, and literature. The spatial turn in the humanities and social sciences has occasioned an explosion of inno- vative, multidisciplinary scholarship in recent years, and geocriticism, broadly conceived, has been among the more promising developments in spatially oriented literary studies. Whether focused on literary geography, cartography, geopoetics, or the spatial humanities more generally, geo- critical approaches enable readers to reflect upon the representation of space and place, both in imaginary universes and in those zones where fiction meets reality. Titles in the series include both monographs and col- lections of essays devoted to literary criticism, theory, and history, often in association with other arts and sciences. Drawing on diverse critical and theoretical traditions, books in the Geocriticism and Spatial Literary Studies series disclose, analyze, and explore the significance of space, place, and mapping in literature and in the world.
