For those of you not familiar with pop culture, The Handmaid’s Tale follows a futuristic dystopian society. After the collapse of the United States, a monotheocracy steps in. The goal of this new government is to address the issues of social unrest and a steeply declining birthrate. This new government, the Republic of Gilead, reverts back to the repressive ways of the Puritans. So if its people step out of line, there’s highly unusual consequences to be met.

But if you’re a fan of Hulu’s adaptation, you already know all of this. What you don’t know is how the author, Margaret Atwood, intended on the story ending. Just as movie makers reconstruct storylines when developing something based off of a novel, television producers do the same. So if you think you know everything there is to know about The Handmaid’s Tale, you couldn’t be more wrong.
