Gilead's veil has been lifted for many characters in Season 6 of The Handmaid's Tale, which hopes will lead to its decline. Commander Lawrence is reinforced by the weak, hungry powerful "religious nuts" that lead the country. After discovering servants in Ezebel in episode 3, "dedication", Aunt Lydia finally realizes that their "sacred duty" is nothing more than a facade for men to get off the manipulation and control of women. We still wonder where Serena is really standing; After experiencing freedom in Canada, she has been withdrawn in Newoo Bethlehem and is now excluded from La-La-Earth with Commander Barton.

In the "Shattered" episode, June realized that all Serena's impending manicure was the perfect opportunity to present a new plan after their mission in Jezebel was prevented by devastating results: women who worked there were killed by a team. Weddings seem to be the perfect place to orchestrate the fall of powerful figures, as they are so much in the room at once. In "The Handmaid's Tale", most of the border guards and senior commanders will be collected together, distracted by the whole pump and circumstances.

This plot relies on constant and sometimes unrealistic missions in Gilead in June, which begins to dilute its tyrannical terror, the easier it slips and exits. It seems that the final of the series will depend on this ability, so it can be something we need to accept with a slightly suspended disbelief. Although the conspiracy armor in June carries a slim, she has a sense of poetry justice in her new plan to again mask as a maid, and the setup is reminiscent of the largest deadly wedding in television history.

The red wedding of Game of Thrones was just as traumatic for the actors as for the audience. What was supposed to be political reconciliation became a bloodshed. With many from Starks under one roof, it was the perfect opportunity for Frays to attack by locking all the doors. The scene is gruesome and ruthless, showing the cut throats, a pregnant woman stabbed constantly in the stomach, and intersections stab all guests.

The wedding at The Handmaid's Tale is a quieter and more subtle way of overthrowing power. It is not a violent, male aggression of warring medieval families, but women hidden the tools of their oppression: home labor and obedience. "Tonight we will use these clothes to start a war," June said, and the maids are using their easily neglected presence - because they are expected to be meek and fade in the background - to carry weapons to each other in the last ranks of the church, which they plan to use that night. Rita also dresses the wedding cake with a slow action that will attract tall guests to sleep.

The red wedding was such a descent of the jaw because several main characters who were emotionally invested in heinous ways, and that could probably happen in the last two episodes of "The Handmaid's Tale". While we already had the pleasure of watching June stabbed the sexist commander of the pigs Bell, I hope we will soon see a few more killings of the commanders. Nick and Serena seemingly ate the cake at the wedding, so they could be next in the order to die, which would be a shocking way to end the series.
