* ''Harlequin Valentine'', by [[Neil Gaiman]], is explicitly based on commedia dell'arte tropes, with Harlequin as a [[Trickster Archetype|trickster spirit]] romancing a mortal woman (who is, in the Columbine spirit, the sanest and most sensible character, and things don't go quite as expected). Along the way, Harlequin nominates the other characters as filling various stock roles, although it's ambiguous whether this is genuine insight or just a case of labelling people according to his preconceptions.
