What is the nature of the relationship between Sarah and hagar?

Initially, their relationship is probably alright. Hagar is one of Sarah's slaves, and Sarah choose her to be a mistress for Abraham. I kind of understand the legal implications of this. In a worldly sense, the important thing was that Abraham have an heir. Because of Sarah's lack of faith in God to do as he had promised, or perhaps considering that she wasn't the one who would bear Abraham the promised son, she decided Hagar could bear a child for Abraham in her name. As soon as Hagar conceives however, animosity develops between the two women, as Hagar "despises" Sarah. (Genesis 16:4) There must be some cultural implications that I'm missing here, because I don't really understand why Hagar would despise Sarah... perhaps because her son wouldn't be her own, but would be Sarah's son by law? An interesting question that is definitely worth looking into.
