Evil Is Not Well Lit: Difference between revisions

Line 53:

* In ''[[~~Discworld/The Truth|~~The Truth]]'', the evil conspiracy has their dimly lit room described so that it matches the trope well and points out a potential advantage of using it: If the room is badly lit but for one bright light, it's hard to make out anyone's face and learn his identity.

* [[Harry Potter|Lord Voldemort]], aka the Dark Lord, is very fond of this trope. His favorite scenes for evil showdowns include an old graveyard (at midnight) and a vast chamber filled with snake statues built far underground. Also Slytherin house, which has a far greater ratio of mean students to nice ones, has a commons room that is noticeably dark and poorly lit compared to the commons rooms of the other houses.

** Lampshaded by Dumbledore, who believes Voldemort is using the darkness and the death motifs to scare his enemies. From what we heard of Slytherin, he wasn't a very pleasant person, and the students who are enrolled in his house are usually very much like him, so it's somewhat justified.
