Abstract
Amy Sherman-Palladino’s hit series Gilmore Girls (2000-2007) exposes how deeply ingrained class values are rooted in society. Lorelai Gilmore would “rather reenact parts of Stephen King’s novels” than talk to her upper-class parents. Yet, is she as anti-classist as she thinks? Does Rory also struggle with class identity? This thesis will explore these questions with surprising results.
