* ''Literature/{{Carrie}}'' deconstructs the AlphaBitch, TheBully, and the {{Delinquents}} with [[Characters/CarrieChrisHargensen Chris Hargensen]]. It shows that the kind of person who wants to humiliate and hurt people so badly -- especially people who have done nothing at all to them -- would have to be ''seriously'' screwed up in the head. Chris's "friends" don't actually like her that much, the principal thinks she needs to be locked up, and the only reason she hasn't been thrown in a padded cell is because her father is an AmoralAttorney who keeps pulling some strings to get Chris out of trouble. Chris is so twisted that when her boyfriend Billy starts abusing Chris in kind, not only does Chris not resist, but she's excited by it.

** Carrie White is a deconstruction of WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds. She is not treated as just a MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold (as the film adaptations do), but as somebody who had been harboring some seriously dark thoughts, and while the ruthless bullying sent her way was bad and made her into a monster more than anything else, she still killed hundreds of innocent people during her rampage.
