Fertility and sex
-
Colour: Red
"She's a magic presence to us, an object of envy and desire, we covet her."
-
"She's come to display herself. She's glowing, rosy, she's enjoying every minute of this."
The colour red represents the menstrual cycle, menstrual blood and childbirth.
Red has also been seen as power in history, worn by rulers, etc. The Handmaid's power is the ability to bear children.
Flowers
-
The reason why flowers represent fertility, is that reproductive organs can be found within the plant's anatomy.
-
"She's running to meet me, [...] and I begin to cry, [...] my mother comes in"
-
"Pleasure is an egg."
"If I have an egg, what more can i want?"
-
Eggs are a food in the Handmaids' diet, since they are a good source of protein and to encourage fertility.
