"Offred" is the premiere episode of the American television drama series The Handmaid's Tale. A series of short ideas/ficlets featuring missing moments and scenes from Nick and June’s story during Seasons 1 and 2. Like Luke, Nick is a mystery, even though he exists in the narrator's present, instead of just in her memory. Offred's first encounter with him (chapter 4) reveals his underlying lack of conformity. Offred puts her fate entirely in Nick's hands at the end of the book "There's lightning far away" "I can see it, a glimmer" Atwood uses pathetic fallacy as this begins the chapter where Offred starts her affair with Nick, can be seen to imply he offers her hope It was directed by Reed Morano, and written by Bruce Miller, adapting material from the 1985 Margaret Atwood novel The Handmaid's Tale.The episode debuted on the streaming service Hulu on April 26, 2017.. Nick’s official position is Guardian, and he seems to be low-ranking because he hasn’t been assigned a woman. If she gets caught, she would be sent to the Colonies—a death sentence in all but name— but she faces the same fate if she fails to become pregnant by the Commander, who may be sterile. Offred describes Nick as "the Commander's driver, lives over the garage, low status, hasn't even been issued a woman. Nick, who is played by Max Minghella in the Hulu show, plays the quiet and brooding driver of the Waterford family. Max Minghella as Nick Nick serves as a Guardian in Gilead and as Commander Waterford's driver. That arrangement turns into a full blown affair between Nick and Offred, and the two become close, developing feelings on what appears to be both ends. Maybe he's an Eye." Offred is a mostly passive character, good-hearted but complacent. Like her peers, she took for granted the freedoms feminism won and now pays the price. If she does finally escape, it is because of Nick, not because of anything she does -herself. Told from Rita’s perspective. Maybe he's lonely. Maybe he watches me. Nick proceeds to force himself onto Offred, albeit reluctantly, and when the deed is done, Serena Joy escorts Offred back to her bedroom where she tells her to lay down. Nick is a Guardian, a member of the security forces of Gilead, who has been assigned to the Commander as a chauffeur. From the beginning, the narrator considers him to be a suspicious character: However, Offred … Nick warns Offred not to get too close to Ofglen because it's dangerous. Offred/June becomes pregnant (to Nick), and Serena ‘rewards’ her with a fleeting glimpse at the resettled Hannah. Nick is the closest thing The Handmaid's Tale has to a sexy bad boy—after all, he knocks boots with Offred, he seems to be a rebel, and he's male. He eventually (through a series of bizarre interactions) forms a relationship with Offred that becomes her only saving grace during her dire existence in Gilead. Offred/June becomes pregnant (to Nick), and Serena ‘rewards’ her with a fleeting glimpse at the resettled Hannah.
