Character Analysis Of Scream Queens

Scream Queens is a new show that just premiered a little over a month ago. It takes place on a college campus, mainly in the sorority Kappa House. Kappa House has always been known as one of the richest and most prestigious sororities on campus living in the biggest mansion. However, Kappa House has not always had the best history of getting along with the school, and has somehow managed to make an enemy with the Dean. In an effort to reduce the exclusive and catty attitudes of the Kappa girls, the dean declares that Kappa House must accept all pledges, not only the ones that meet the standards of the Kappa President, Chanel Oberlin. All of the sudden the once seemingly perfect Kappa House is infiltrated my girls from all different social …show more content…
Yes, there are a few middle and working class characters, but I could only think of two low class characters. One was known as the Old Hag of Shady Lane. She lived in an empty house and she ate out of garbage cans and stole milk from the milk man. Other than getting, or stealing, food and clothing she never really left the house. However, later on in the series her identity is revealed. She used vertical mobility and is now in the upper middle class or the lower high class, although it is still a mystery as to how she was able to do this. The other low class character went the opposite way, she used vertical mobility to fall from high class to low class. She was a Kappa Sister almost twenty years before the start of this show, and she fell because she was forced to go off the grid to cover up a murder that happened when she was at the Kappa House. She now lives in a trailer miles and miles away from everyone else.When people think of vertical mobility they usually think of dropping one class, not from the very top to rock bottom. What about the middle class? We’ve talked about high class and low class but the show has a lot of middle class characters as well. The majority of the pledges to Kappa House this year are from the middle class. There is a lot of tension between the pledges and the sisters because all of the sisters are in high class, and they definitely …show more content…
You can tell that these people are high class because of the way that they present themselves. They all dress in heels, big furs, fancy big dresses, and heavy jewelry. They act recklessly because they can afford to get caught. During this particular episode one of them even says. “There’s no jail that can hold her, last time we put her in jail she just got bailed out.” and this doesn 't only apply to large scales, even smaller ones like getting into a fight with your friend can be solved by buying her a matching white fur vest. Another thing that I could connect from our class to this episode was that difference in diet between the classes. In one episode the high class references both a lactose intolerant diet and a diet where you cannot eat deli meat. People in the low class cannot eat this way simply because they cannot afford it. The high class is also a place filled with crime, affairs, murders, secrets, and lies. They have enough time to go behind each others backs because they have to work less, it takes them less time to pay bills because they don’t have to decide which ones to pay. They live in pure luxury with walk in closets, big houses and stained glass windows. The life that people like Chanel live completely contrasts the old life of the Old Hag of Shady
