Big No/Literature: Difference between revisions

* An [[Narm|unintentionally hilarious]] example is seen at the end of Marianne Curley's ''The Key'', where Ethan screams it after {{spoiler|his true love Rochelle [[Taking the Bullet|takes a magic arrow to the chest for him]]}}. Rochelle, who is narrating the story and using present tense, is able to tell us that the last thing she hears before she dies is Ethan screaming "Nooooo!"

* In the first ''[[Wild Cards]]'' book (from 1986), Dr. Tachyon shrieks ''"Noooooooooooooooooo!"'' when {{spoiler|he believes he has failed to prevent his friend Angelface from being shot.}}

* In George R. R. Martin's ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire|A Clash of Kings]]'' ship-captain Davos Seaworth unleashes one of these during {{spoiler|the bloody naval assault on King's Landing, when he realizes that one of the other attacking ships is about to set off a particularly nasty trap.}}

* This trope, among other things, robbed {{spoiler|Oz's death}} in ''The Lake House'' of [[Narm|much of its impact.]]

** Ron gets another one in ''Deathly Hallows'' {{spoiler|after he hears Bellatrix give Greyback permission to kill Hermione.}}

* ''Starcraft: Ghost: Nova''. The title character does one of these every other page, just about. The other pages, somebody else fills in for her.

* In ''[[The Hobbit]]'', Gandalf tells Bilbo about Beorn and says that he is a [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|'skin-changer.']] Bilbo expresses his thoughts by asking whether he meant 'furrier', to which Gandalf responds: 'Good gracious heavens, no, no, NO, '''NO!''''

* In ''[[The Belgariad]]'', Ce'Nedra lets one out upon discovering that she has to marry Garion. Right in the middle of his [[Awesome Moment of Crowning]].
