At the center of the film is a deliberate subversion of traditional fairy tale tropes. Historically, fairy tales have relied on physical appearances to denote morality; the beautiful are inherently good, and the physically unappealing are relegated to villainy. The School for Good and Evil flips this expectation on its head through its setting and character placements. In the School for Good, the students are deeply vain, superficial, and cruel, viewing goodness as a standard of beauty rather than an internal moral compass. Conversely, the School for Evil operates on raw emotion and authenticity, eventually exposing that ambition and self-preservation do not inherently make one monster. Sophie's descent into darkness is driven by her desperate need to fit a mold she was never meant for, highlighting how rigid societal expectations can actively corrupt an individual.

The 2022 Netflix film adaptation of Soman Chainani’s beloved young adult novel, The School for Good and Evil , directed by Paul Feig, attempts to deconstruct the binary moral structures typical of classic fairy tales. The narrative focuses on two polarized best friends from the village of Gavaldon: Sophie, who is obsessed with pink dresses and dreams of becoming a princess, and Agatha, an outcast who wears dark clothing and is branded a witch by her community. When both are swept away to an enchanted academy that trains heroes and villains, a perceived clerical error places Agatha in the School for Good and Sophie in the School for Evil. While the film faced critical scrutiny for its dense world-building and overstuffed runtime, it successfully delivers a poignant commentary on the performative nature of morality and the enduring power of female friendship.
