Sumario:On this work, you will find a delimitation and characterization of how the patriarchal system of the government of Gilead constructs the figure of the handmaidas a social enemy. First, we will delve into Carl Schmitt's concept of the political and his reference to what he calls the political friend-enemy distinction. Then, we will explain what the social enemy is from Foucault, distinguishing it from the political enemy, and how it is created by the same system to justify the myth of security. This will help to make visible the relationship between the state and the illusion of security, showing the role played by the police in the same. These concepts engage in a dialogue with the series "The Handmaid's Tale" (2017), where the myth of security is portrayedthrough the construction of the nation-state of Gilead.
