I have to agree with Ken (well, and the Merriam-Webster dictionary, too). The use of "the" in all these trope names is proper. Otherwise, just as an example, you will have to find a way to explain somehow that "Spock" isn't a page on the Star Trek character but a page about characters which share many of his traits, at some point before the reader goes, "The hell? Why is Spock in this show?" upon seeing it in a trope list.
