Line 15:
* [[Arranged Marriage]]: This happens to Dodola at age 9. Her husband does teach her how to read and write, though.
* [[As the Good Book Says...]]: Dodola regularly tells Zam stories from the Quran and Bible. This continues into their adulthoods.
* [[Bad Boss]]: The sultan of Wanatolia. What does he do to concubines who grow too old for his liking? Does he send them home to move on with their lives? No, he has them executed.
Line 29 ⟶ 31:
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: When Dodola and Zam reunite after 6 years of separation.
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: The fisherman Noah comes dangerously close to this. His village is a [[Wretched Hive]]. {{spoiler|His homeless friend dies. Most the people who stay as his guests are [[Ungrateful Bastard|ungrateful bastards]]. His house is blown up.}} He gets better after Zam and Dodola {{spoiler|help him rebuild it.}}
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Almost. {{spoiler|Dodola confesses her romantic feelings for Zam and asks to have a child with him. This is after he already castrated himself. He regrets doing so to the point where he considers jumping off a dam to his death.}} And, that's why you don't make life-changing decisions on a whim!
Line 37 ⟶ 41:
* [[Eunuchs Are Evil]]: Averted with all examples except for the Chief Black Eunuch in the sultan's palace.
* [[Exact Words]]: The sultan {{spoiler|captures Dodola but promises to release her if she can "turn a jug of water into gold." If she fails, she gets executed. She does turn a jug of water into gold.....by trading the former for the latter.}}
* [[Fan Disservice]]: Anytime the sultan of Wanatolia gets naked.
Line 62 ⟶ 68:
* [[Ironic Nickname]]: The large and scary-looking bodyguard assigned to Dodola in the sultan's palace is named.....Hyacinth, a type of flower.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: The men who rape Dodola in the dessert and kidnap Zam into the palace, respectively. {{spoiler|Whoever killed Dodola's [[Child by Rape|biological son]] Rajab is definitely an example.}} The sultan is worse than
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Everything the sultan does counts as this.
Line 83 ⟶ 89:
* [[Opium Den]]: The place where sultan's harem resides is this. It really shows how [[Sarcasm Mode|happy]] they are [[Gilded Cage|there.]]
* [[Parental Neglect]]: Dodola neglects {{spoiler|her [[Child by Rape|biological son with the sultan]] because she's depressed about being a prisoner and misses Zam.}} She decides to put a stop to it only for {{spoiler|her son to be murdered shortly after.}}
* [[Parental Substitute]]: Dodola is this for Zam, who is 9 years younger than her. It still doesn't stop them from becoming the [[Official Couple]].▼
▲* [[Parental Substitute]]: Dodola is this for Zam, who is 9 years younger than her. It still doesn't stop them from becoming the [[Official Couple]]. Nadidah and Hyacinth also become this for {{spoiler|Dodola's biological son Rajab while she was being [[Parental Neglect|neglectful.]] Nadidah was even the one who came up with his name.}}
* [[Platonic Life Partners]]: Subverted with Dodola and Zam. The reader expects them to end up like this after Zam {{spoiler|has himself castrated.}} But, no, they still end up as a couple.
Line 118 ⟶ 126:
* [[Wife Husbandry]]: {{spoiler|Inverted with Dodola and Zam. Dodola raises Zam as her adopted son, and he becomes sexually attracted to her when she's 21 and he's 12, but she doesn't return his feelings until he's about 18 or so.}}
* [[Would Hurt a Child]]: The slave traders who almost killed Zam and whoever killed {{spoiler|Dodola's biological son Rajab.}}
