Which Handmaid's Tale Character are you?
Praise be, humans. Welcome to Gilead, where fertile young women, known as Handmaids, are trained into submission by "the Aunts" to become child bearers for Commanders and their wives. If, God forbid, you found yourself in this oppressive republic, which character would you be?

Offred/June - Handmaid
Offred/June - Handmaid
As the narrator of the show, we see Gilead through June's eyes, from the moment she is brought in to the moment she learns to protest in her own way. June is assigned to Commander Fred as a Handmaid, hence her new name Offred. She comes across as an ordinary woman at first - but as she goes further and further to rebel, risking more and more, we realise that June is anything but ordinary. Catch Elisabeth Moss as Offred on The Handmaid's Tale now streaming on Showmax.com.
Lydia - Aunt
Lydia - Aunt
Proudly brandishing their toys - tasers, whips and any other tools from Gilead's torture chamber - Aunts force Handmaids into total submission, even plucking out their eyes if they
resist. Aunt Lydia is convinced that the women in her care were privileged to be chosen as Handmaids. She feels responsible for them, for instance, when she stands up to the bodyguards who are about to punish/kill the Handmaids who protest at the "Reaping". The
Handmaid's Tale is now streaming on Showmax.com.
Serena Joy - Wife
Serena Joy - Wife
Serena Joy, wife to Commander Fred, provided the "woman's place" ideologies that were fundamental to the founding of Gilead. But Gilead is a misogynistic society. And Serena - with all her intelligence - is reduced to being merely a jealous wife whose main role is to hold down her Handmaid in a ritualistic rape sugarcoated as the Ceremony. But perhaps her strongest emotion is regret, for creating the regime, and now all she can do is live in it. The Handmaid's Tale is streaming on Showmax.com.
Fred - Commander
Fred - Commander
Commanders are the highest ranking men in Gilead, usually because they were instrumental in bringing down the old regime. They are each assigned Handmaids for conception purposes because they - and their own wives - are unable to have children. Commander Waterford is Offred's "keeper", and despite his many loathsome flaws, he is human, conflicted and vulnerable at times, and even he is subject being spied on by the new government. The Handmaid's Tale is now streaming on Showmax.com.
Moira - Handmaid
Moira - Handmaid
Moira is fierce, fiery and full of fun, and we can't help but love her. Unlike her best friend from college and fellow Handmaid Offred, Moira ends up being the only Handmaid that we know of who manages to successfully escape Gilead and make her way into Canada - but not before being caught, tortured and turned into a prostitute at the underground brothel Jezebel, where she and Offred are unexpectedly reunited. Catch Samira Wiley as Moira in The Handmaid's Tale, now streaming on Showmax.com.
