The Handmaiden explores several themes that are both timely and timeless. One of the primary concerns is the exploitation of women under patriarchal societies. The film highlights the limited agency and opportunities available to women in 1930s Korea, particularly those from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Sook-hee and Hideko's complex relationship serves as a commentary on the ways in which women are forced to navigate and subvert oppressive systems.
