Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell: Difference between revisions

* [[Those Two Guys]]: The fops Drawlight and Lascelles, at least at first. Honeyfoot and Segundus had a short run near the beginning.

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: The heartbreak of {{spoiler|his wife's death}} coupled with the Gentleman's attempts to drive him crazy allow Strange to turn from a nice [[Lord Peter Wimsey|Peter Wimsey]]ish guy into a powerful and frightening Byronic [[Badass]]. This is kind of lampshaded, as after {{spoiler|rescuing his wife from Fairyland}}, he becomes a bit more like himself and attributes his earlier behavior to spending too much time around [[Lord Byron]].

* [[Where I Was Born and Razed]]: At the end of the novel, {{spoiler|Strange destroys his house before journeying into Faerie with Norrell. Technically, both Strange's and Norrell's houses become "lost", not destroyed. Sometimes people claim they can see Norrell's house from afar, while Strange's cat still finds Strange's house, slipping between the neighboring houses into another realm where humans can not follow}}.

* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: It's noted how fairies who have the most powerful magic often have the same level of sanity as humans in madhouses. On the other hand, Norrell and Strange weren't insane when they performed their greatest feats of magic, and neither were the Aureate magicians of the time of the Raven King.
