Hunting the Unicorn: Difference between revisions

Excerpts and poetry from the novel set each chapter's tone, and several scenes are inspired by parts of the book. While it is certainly not a ''happy'' story, there are lighter moments that keep it from being too depressing.

 

 

* [[Adults Are Useless]]: Averted with the Dalton staff, although Blaine's parents aren't too useful.

* [[Adult Fear]]: Blaine is a ''minefield'' of this: He's painfully lonely, makes absurd mistakes because nobody's there to tell him otherwise (or he waits until the absolute last minute to ask for help), and then {{spoiler|he gets a [[Stalker with a Crush]] who ''kidnaps him and his friends''.}} And is he a juvenile delinquent? No, he goes around being a [[Knight in Shining Armor]] because [[Dramatic Irony|that's what his parents taught him before they dropped out of his life]].

* [[Fatal Flaw]]: Blaine's unquestioning trust in people is heading towards this.

* [[The First Cut Is the Deepest]]: {{spoiler|Oh, Blaine.}} Bonus points for {{spoiler|the guy being his ''literal'' first.}}

* [[The Four Loves]]: Blaine's lack of Storge ([[Parental Neglect|intended]] and [[When You Coming Home, Dad?|unintended]]) means that he throws himself into Eros and Phileo. The former led to him {{spoiler|losing his virginity in an attempt to invoke [[Sex Equals Love]]}}, which [[Break the Cutie|didn't go well]], and his Agape has attracted {{spoiler|his stalker Alex.}}

** On the positive side, the Warblers are a perfect example of Phileo and the Eros with Kurt is mutually genuine. Blaine's siblings and Greg are also an example of Storge, even if two-thirds of them aren't there to show it.

{{quote|'''Sarah:''' Hunting the unicorn--the way you are, just looking for it--that means you're trying to [[Meaningful Echo|make yourself better]].}}

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Blaine, physically ''and'' emotionally.

* [[Undercover Cop Reveal]]: {{spoiler|Greg is Jerry.}}

* [[The Unfavorite]]: Blaine. When he tries to call home and get a ride from his dad, it takes three tries and his ''brother'' finally answers. It's implied this has happened before.
