THE HANDMAID'S TALE | 6x03 - Devoted
I’m just a girl
standing in front of a morally grey fictional man
asking for a redemption arc.
Nick x June - The Handmaid's Tale - Season 1, 2017
Nick didn't have to get on that plane. He chose to. He chose to support Gilead's remaining commanders in planning to obliterate Boston and take control back.
Nick was asked by Serena to rape June and he did. He had the choice not to. But it compromised his cover as an eye. So he elected to rape someone. To protect himself.
Nick could have helped get Handmaids out of Gilead. He didn't.
He could have stopped supporting the systems that oppressed and imprisoned women and he didn't.
He didn't have to rat out the women at Jezebels and get them gunned down to save himself. But he did. Because he valued his own life over theirs.
Yes he fell in love with June. But he was never a good man. He was just nicer than other commanders in Gilead and June needed someone on her side.
He was the perfect man for her when she was imprisoned and stripped of her autonomy. That alone should tell you a lot.
The story is making the point that just because someone shows you human decency and politeness and bare minimum kindness doesn't make them a good person.
The men who benefit from the systems that oppress women and do nothing to dismantle it? Are supporting those systems continued existence.
Nick had the power to make real change. He was an eye. He had Intel that could have saved lives. He chose not to use it unless it meant he got to keep June. Like she was a prize he wanted.
If you are mad the show killed him you don't understand what the story is trying to tell you.
don’t speak to me for a week i’m grieving
