Line 17:
* [[Break the Haughty]]: Gwendolen, who has already treated one suitor badly, marries Grandcourt to avoid having to work for a living--even though she knows what this will mean for Grandcourt's mistress, Lydia. This turns out to be a bad, ''bad'' idea.
* [[Character Tics]]: Grandcourt. Speaks. Slowly.
* [[Distracted Byby the Luxury]]: Soon subverted. Although Gwendolen initially jumps at Grandcourt's proposal on account of the lovely things he can buy her, she suffers a mental breakdown when {{spoiler|Lydia Glasher sends her the diamonds that Grandcourt had once given to her.}}
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Mirah Lapidoth; averted, however, when Daniel manages to rescue her.
* [[Evil Has a Bad Sense of Humor]]: ''[[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]]'' has Vulcans who laugh more than Grandcourt.
* [[Hard Work Hardly Works]]: Sternly subverted by Klesmer, the musician who itemizes all of Gwendolen's faults as a potential actress. Similarly, even though Mirah has [[The Gift]], she nevertheless has spent her life in training for performance.
* [[Hates Being Touched]]: Gwendolen's aversion to anything sexual.
