oooooohohh a background episode about aunt lydia!!!!!!!!!!
#one thing i do really love about this show is the tiers and layers and complexities of the oppression like.#yes the aunts inflict horrible treatment on the handmaids. yes the wives are complicit in the crimes of their husbands.#yes technically the marthas have a higher position than handmaids#but you have to remember at the end of the day they're all people.#they're all human beings. who had normal lives before all this. no matter how indoctrinated they seem like. that's a normal person#you cannot dehumanize anyone involved because they are all deeply human.#the tiny peeks that you get of like. their lives before. it's so beautiful and tragic and poignant#when aunt lydia reveals she was her sister's baby's godmother.#when someone mentions reading serena's book.#when the handmaid's all told each other their real names at the grocery store.#the small moments of humanity. ouaugghh....#the handmaid's tale
