Like the Marquise de Merteuil and Bridget Gregory, the Bitch is an expert at playing with people’s expectations of her, and of women in general, to her advantage.

Bridget is one of the rare examples of an unlikeable, unrepentant female character that gets away scot-free after conning and manipulating her way out of every sticky situation.
