=== ''[[Fingersmith]]'' contains examples of: ===
 
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Gentleman. He's a well-dressed dandy who can effortlessly charm the ladies, but has no actual sexual interest in them. It's left rather unclear in the book, though, whether he's actually a [[Depraved Homosexual]] ([[Word of God]] confirmed that [[Word of Gay|he is indeed gay]]).
* [[Anti -Villain]]: {{spoiler|Mrs. Sucksby}} is remarkably sympathetic for someone who {{spoiler|condemned her adoptive daughter to a [[Fate Worse Than Death]] in order to get her biological daughter back, as well as a whole lot of money}}. It helps that she seems to feel regretful almost immediately, and that {{spoiler|she takes the blame for the murder of Gentleman}}
* [[Becoming the Mask]]: Both Maude and Sue.
* [[Bedlam House]]: {{spoiler|Sue}} ends up here.
