“Where you lead, I will follow. Anywhere that you tell me to, if you need, if you need me to be with you. I will follow, where you lead”. These are the famous lyrics to the Gilmore Girls theme song. Gilmore Girls is a Drama series that is the complete opposite of your traditional television show. It started in the early 2000s and is about a mother-daughter relationship between Lorelai and Rory Gilmore. The first thing about this series that breaks society's traditions is that Lorelai had Rory when she was in highschool. Her parents, who are incredibly wealthy and have a big name to live up to, were extremely disappointed. Lorelai ran away from home and raised her daughter as a single mother. Always facing constant problems in her life, Lorelai…show more content… “He’s gonna come and go as he pleases babe, you know that” (Lorelai Gilmore). Rory never had a stable relationship with her father, so when her decided to visit them for the first time, Rory could not be more ecstatic. This breaks the norms in society because usually children have a stable mother and father figure in their life. “She’s a great kid Lore, I wish I could say I see more of myself in her, other than we have the same left earlobe” (Christopher Hayden).

This adds to the drama later in Rory’s live when she needs her father there for her and he isn’t.

With that they kissed and the scene switches to them putting their clothes back on. The car ride home was silent and awkward and Rory was sitting in the back wondering where her parents had wandered off to. “They don’t even wanna get to know me do they (referring to her grandparents)” (Rory Gilmore). She wants the closest thing to a normal life. She tries to make all of her family proud by being extremely respectful, responsible, and by doing amazing in school. So when she hears that her grandparents want nothing to do with her, she couldn’t help but feel bitter. “Lore, I wanna marry you” (Christopher Hayden). He wanted to finally settle down and be there for his daughter. Lorelai was horrified by how random that comment was and she did not approach it in the most calm way.
