The ending of Handmaid’s Tale explained.

June's face is larger than we thought.

As Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” concludes, fans have a lot of questions about just what they saw in the finale. Is there hope for the future? Will Gilead fall? What will happen to Serena? We try to answer those questions by offering an analysis of the final episode:
 
What we learned in the series finale of The Handmaid’s Tale. 
​
June’s face is larger than we thought. 

Some other large faces appear, but by far the biggest one is Elisabeth Moss’s. 

As Gilead falls, June’s face grows. There may be a direct connection here.

​It’s as if June’s face is sucking up the power from Gilead and using it to grow larger and dominate the screen so much that there is nothing else to see or contemplate.

June is encouraged to write a book, which will become Margaret Atwood’s, “The Handmaid’s Tale,” which will be the story of June’s face and how enormous it is while other stuff happens around it.

Elisabeth Moss allows other faces to be on screen, but they are a little smaller and soon give way to her gigantic visage. 

In the eighties, when someone got burned really badly, someone would shout, “Face!” In The Handmaid’s Tale world, people just point at June instead. Only they can’t be seen pointing because all anyone can see is June’s face. 

Something is happening with Serena but then there’s Elisabeth Moss’s face again and who even cares anymore. 

It is revealed that in Pat Benatar’s classic, “We Belong” she was talking about June when she sang, “I see your face everywhere.”

​The final shot of the series finale seems to suggest that Elisabeth Moss managed to create an entire show around her face.
