Her mother got pregnant young and ran away from her rich parents to live in a town where no one knew them; Rory is very intelligent but can't get out of her small town where no one understands her. In her fantasy world, her intellect is well-respected by everyone and earns her several scholarships to various prestigious schools she could only dream of outside of, you know, daydreams. She has an incredibly and unrealistically close relationship with her mother and grandparents, whereas in her real life she is terribly bitter with her mother (for running away from her grandparents when her grandparents were rich and could have paid for her tuition) and her grandparents (for not paying for her schooling and getting her a better life). Everyone understands her and is very witty, intelligent and entertaining; everyone loves her. Her entire town has enough money for everything despite most of the characters being in working-class and menial jobs in a very small town with not much of a tourist population or major exports or outside traffic. The entire show is her highly unrealistic daydream wish to help her compensate for how shitty her life is in actuality.

Every time it seems like someone is being mean to Rory for no reason (Example: Paris in Season One), it's only because Rory changes the story to make her the good girl. She intentionally knocked over Paris' diorama on her first day of school, she manipulated Dean into cheating on his wife...You get the idea.

Honor had a fiancee that the Huntzbergers had an intense hatred for. She strategically got Logan and Rory to go to the dinner to get their attention off of the engagement announcement and focus on chastizing the Gilmore, who they seemed to dislike. If you notice, she seemed rather speechless that Logan even had a girlfriend in the first place, but seemed to perk up at the fact that she was a Gilmore.

That was why Richard immediately disliked Dean: not because he was from a different economic circle, but because he was Irish (Forrester is a Celtic name). Dean's ancestors clashed with Richard's because Dean's were allied with the Fenians (a group composed of Irish expatriates and Confederate soldiers) when they tried to take over Canada following the Civil War.

In "Rory's Dance," he refers to Tristan as "Drystan." One might be tempted to think that it was just a put-down, but "Drystan" is actually the Welsh equivalent of "Tristan" (a Pictish name).
