What Does Purple Mean in ‘The Handmaid’s Tale? (SPOILERS)

And, apparently, this all means she’s getting ready for marriage. Not in the sense that Hannah will be matched and married off to some elderly commander right away. But she’s in wife school, where she learns all about what it means to be a wife in Gilead.
