Mugging the Monster: Difference between revisions

Line 297:
* ''[[Honor Harrington]]'': The most memorable and sadistically amusing is when Pavel Young tries to rape Honor and ends up beaten to a pulp.
**On an international level when Haven attacks Manticore and when the Solarians attack the alliance.
** Lampshaded by Captain Oversteegan in ''The Service of the Sword''. A bully officer tries to use his rank and position to verbally abuse Midshipman Abigail Hearns. At which point the Captain clues in [[The Bully]] that he might come from a [[Screw the Rules, I Have Connections|reasonably prominent family]] but Abigail's family [[Blue Blood]] are offworld ''royalty'', even if [[Modest Royalty|she]] doesn't give herself airs]] about it. And as a bonus in case he missed that point, while Abigail is herself a patient and long-suffering woman her father is a living stereotype of [[Papa Wolf|Graysonian overprotective patriarchal wrath]], and the bully's activities are rapidly approaching the threshold where her father might actually find out about them.
* In one of the ''[[Troubleshooters]]'' books, someone attempts to mug Jules Cassidy, who's short, gay, and looks like he could be in a boy band. Jules, however, is an FBI agent.
* Happens to [[Repairman Jack]] about [[Once an Episode|once every book]], starting in the first installment where he does it on purpose to draw out the mugger who stole a [[MacGuffin]] from his client.
