Line 73:
* Early on, [[Jane Eyre]] believes [[Byronic Hero|Mr. Rochester]] isn't interested in a homely woman like her, and is instead pursuing [[Alpha Bitch|Blanche Ingram]], a beautiful and classy dame.
* Parodied in [[Discworld]]. Where the human-despite-all-appearances-to-the-contrary-Nobby Nobbs starts dating a beautiful strip dancer, no one can believe it. Apparently, she thinks herself ugly. Why? Because every other guy assumed that she was out of there league and never approached her, leading her to believe she was unattractive.
* The heroine of Stephen R. Donaldson's ''The Mirror of Her Dreams'' is described from the start as beautiful. Those who meet her frequently remark on how lovely she is; her love interest's sister-in-law says, approximately, "He told us a great deal about you, and yet he never mentioned that you could have any man you wanted." Due mostly to [[Abusive Parents|her father's emotional abuse]], her response to all such remarks is to silently wonder (she's too shy to say it aloud), "Do you really think I'm pretty?"
