The Handmaid’s Story’s Madeline Brewer Explains Janine’s Selections

In the case of Janine, Madeline Brewer is aware of there’s greater than meets the attention. 

In season 5 of Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Story, which dropped its first two episodes Sept. 14, Janine refuses to shake free from being a subservient Handmaid beneath the management of the Aunts, regardless of the urging of Esther (Mckenna Grace).

Whereas Janine’s complacency could be complicated for some viewers, Madeline utterly understands her motivations.

“I feel it is really easy to take a look at Janine and assume that she’s simply following in line and she or he’s following the foundations,” Madeline informed E! Information’ Francesca Amniker. “I feel it’s extremely straightforward to assume that she’s doing that. However there’s nothing that Janine does with out cause. I feel that she’s a survivor and she or he at all times has been.”

In an effort to survive, Janine decides to aim to get on the nice facet of the Aunts.

“I feel that she sees herself as, ‘If I am helpful to them, perhaps they will not put up me,'” Madeline argued. “Her most current nervousness proper now, after we see her on the high of this season, is, ‘Will I be posted or not? Are they going to ship me again into service or not?’ As a result of in the event that they ship me again into service, I will bow out of life. She would not should be right here anymore.”
