When It Comes To Bitches, One Of The Worst Types Is--The Evil Stepmother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The next couple of posts will deal with this topic, but I just want to say that while the Wicked Queen from "Snow White," and the Stepmother--with a nod to resembling Jo Van Fleet--in "Cinderella," may be the Gold Standard, there are far more evil stepmoms out there than is realized.
Like the one on ID's "Evil Stepmothers," who verbally abuses the kids by saying, "I'M YOUR NEW MOMMY!" Nothing like establishing a climate of warmth!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone who would make a perfect Evil Stepmother, had she not been an ugly Victorian spinster, was Jane Murdstone, in Charles Dickens' "David Copperfield." Come to think of it, the way she took over running the house, treating David's biological mother, Clara, as little more than a servant--and her husband, Edward Murdstone treated her worse--she was pretty much enacting the role of the Evil Stepmother.
I was happy when Aunt Betsey Trotwood lets the Murdstones have it. And when the adult David confronts Murdstone with his cruel treatment.
Sometimes, justice does prevail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But wait till you see whom I have chosen as the worst stepmother! You might be a bit surprised!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
