Few works of fiction are as haunting and thought-provoking as The Handmaid's Tale. Created by Margaret Atwood and brought to the screen in Hulu's gripping adaptation, this dystopian story explores the terrifying rise of Gilead, a theocratic society that strips women of their autonomy. The series dives deep into the psychological and physical struggles of characters like Offred, Serena Joy, and Aunt Lydia, while also painting a grim picture of resistance, survival, and hope.

Gilead’s world is meticulously constructed, with every ritual, color, and law carrying profound meaning. From the Handmaids’ red robes symbolizing fertility to the brutal punishments for disobedience, every aspect of this society is designed to reinforce its oppressive order. While the series offers moments of defiance and resistance, the harrowing journey of its characters forces viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about power, control, and freedom.

This quiz is designed for true fans of The Handmaid's Tale. The questions go beyond basic knowledge, challenging your understanding of Gilead’s rules, its characters’ complexities, and the underlying themes that make the series so compelling. Think you’re ready to take on the challenge? Let’s find out if you can survive Gilead’s toughest trivia.
