Julius Caesar and Mean Girls have all the same components just shown in different time periods.

Everyone was showing fake love to Regina going behind her back and making false rumors but yet acting like a loving friend like they haven't done anything

Baptista made all of the rules for Kate and Bianca, the biggest one being that Kate had to marry before Bianca did.…
