Florante at Laura: Difference between revisions

* [[Deceased Parents Are the Best]]: Florante's mom and dad, Floresca and Briseo. Floresca was loving and (over?)protective, Briseo was kind, caring, and a paragon of virtue.

* [[Deus Angst Machina]]: [[Fan Nickname|Flo.]] Let me count the ways: {{spoiler|nearly killed}} in a [[School Play]], his mom dies, he suddenly becomes general of Albania's army and must separate from Laura and fight, receives a letter saying to return to Albania, {{spoiler|is ambushed, thrown in jail}}, finds out that Briseo and Linceo are killed, finds out that [[I Have You Now, My Pretty|Adolfo has Laura now]], banished and [[Chained to a Rock|chained to a tree in]] [[Mordor]] forest. ''Wow''.

* [[Evil Always Triumphs in The Middle]]

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: During the time, Christanity abhorred Muslims. Aladin is a Muslim prince and one of the good guys. To get this past the censors, Balagtas {{spoiler|took two lines to mention that Aladin and Flerida was baptised as a Christian at the end.}}
