Hounddog: Difference between revisions

{{tropelist}}

 

* [[Bolt of Divine Retribution]]: Lewellen's father gets struck by lightning and her grandmother believes it's this trope at work. And clearly God did it to punish Lewellen and ''not'' her father.

* [[Break the Cutie]]: Lewellen's life basically sucks worse and worse as the movie goes along.

* [[Kick the Dog]]: Wooden's Boy not only rapes Lewellen, but he also taunts her mentally disabled father one night when Lou wanders off.

** Given that Lou shot Lewellen's dog earlier in the movie, this could also be interpreted as a [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]] moment.

* [[Magical Negro]]: Charles, perhaps the only character, other than Lewellen, who is not a [[Jerkass]] to at least some degree.

* [[The New Rock and Roll]]: The [[Trope Namer]] is viewed as the "devil's music" by some characters, most notably Lewellen's grandmother.
