Top Ten Tuesday - Mean Girls

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. This meme was created because they are particularly fond of lists over at The Broke and the Bookish. I'm sure they'd love to share your lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten list.


1. Caroline Bingley - Pride and Prejudice - Gah! If there is a person (other than Mr. Collins) that can make me loath Pride and Prejudice it is Caroline Bingley. Self-important, condescending, and generally just a terrible person! Every time I hear her name I think of this sketch from That Mitchell & Webb Look. It's kind of brilliant, you should watch it. 


2. Dolores Umbridge - Harry Potter - I hate this TROLL of a woman. Not only does she give Harry another scar, she is also incredibly prejudice against half bloods and anything that isn't purely human. She's not a Death Eater, but she's cruel enough to join their ranks. Seriously, this woman is foul. 


3. Bellatrix Lestrange - Harry Potter - If Voldemort is Hitler, Bellatrix is Eva Braun. She's completely off balanced and lies to serve the Dark Lord. Oh, did I mention she loves torturing people? It's one of her favorite pass times. She doesn't have loose morals, she lacks a moral compass all together. One of my biggest pet peeves are people who go around saying "Oh, Bellatrix is so cool. If I were a witch I'd be just like her." Really? You'd be a psychopath who kills for the fun of it? That's cool, I'm just going to go call the police now.

4. Hilly Holbrook - The Help - Hilly's the traditional kind of Bitchy. Overbearing and unbearable to be friends with, but the head of all things social in a her Southern Town. Her bitchiness comes out in her opinions, which are racists, classiest, everything-terrible-you-can-imagine-ist...What makes her really terrible is that she says such horrible things with a smile and a perfectly made up public face. Barf.

5. Margaret Beaufort - The Red Queen - The conniving narrator of the latest Phillipa Gregory novel, Margaret Beaufort was raised to think highly of herself, and her offspring. She's infuriating. I get it, she's a strong woman making a way for herself in uncertain times when she should, by all accounts, have nothing of her own. This doesn't stop her from being a conniving bitch, and a completely infuriating narrator.

6. Estella - Great Expectations - I haven't read Great Expectations. I haven't seen whatever movie versions exists of it. When I was musing about this list earlier tonight my roommate's immediate response was Estella. I trust my roommate, she's pretty awesome, so whoever this person Estella person is get's a place on my too-short list. 

My lists seem to be getting shorter and shorter lately, I'll have to fix this for next week. Happy Tuesday!
