You bitch!

In School for Scandal, I cannot get over how horrible everyone is to each other - backstabbing, two-timing, bitching, gossip and hypocrisy riddle every page of this play. I don't mean to be cliche, but I don't know what else to compare this play to save for high school. A good example would be Mean Girls as well - the way all the girls are in little groups bitching about each other's flaws, even though they have the exact same ones. Regardless of how screwed up things are from being passed through the grapevine, things all end well for everyone - well, they at least end fairly - everyone learns the truth about Joseph's intentions, Lady Teazle is caught cheating on Sir Peter, Sir Oliver ousts Snake, and consequently, Charles and Maria reconcile. So everything ends as it should, despite all the chaos.
