Never Live It Down/Literature: Difference between revisions

** Not exactly. In the first part of the novel, [[Don Quixote]] characterization is [[Lord Error-Prone]]. [[Misaimed Fandom]] insisted to see him as the [[Mad Dreamer]]. So Cervantes explore [[Unbuilt Trope|all the ramifications of the trope showing how everyone wants to be with the]] [[Mad Dreamer]]… [[Humans Are Bastards|to mock him mercilessly]]. At his death, Don Quixote becomes [[Bored with Insanity]] and laments that he is going to being remembered as a mad fool. [[Man of La Mancha]] is a mere [[Derivative Work]] that [[Lost in Imitation|completely misses the point of the original work’s conclusion, but reproduces the Misconception of Romantic times applied to Don Quixote]].

** In the first part of the novel, Sancho Panza has several scenes enjoying food and drink to show his easygoing nature. When Avellaneda [[Fan Fiction|published his own second part of the novel]], he accused Sancho of being a [[Big Eater]]. In Cervante’s second part of the novel, Don Quixote’s niece acuses Sancho of this ([[Malicious Slander|she hates him]]) and later, [[Oh Crap There Are Fanfics of Us|when they know about Avellaneda’s second part]], Sancho defends himself against this accusation:

* Ginny Weasley of the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' series has a reputation in the fandom for being a little tart who can't keep her knickers on. In the canon, she dated three guys (no, not at once) over a period of four years before marrying the last one. Interestingly, Hermione has also dated exactly three people, one for [[Operation: Jealousy|rather petty reasons]], and no one accuses ''her'' of being a slut. <ref>Note that some people claim that nobody (or hardly anybody) actually ''believes'' Ginny is a slut, and that anyone calling her a slut is merely doing so to piss off Ginny fans.</ref>

** There's also Dumbledore, who was gay. He did some other stuff, but mostly, he was gay. You can understand why Rowling didn't insert this fact into the books, since Dumbles' primary characteristic since the [[Word of Gay]] announcement is that [[Rule of Three|he was gay]]. Man, people who refuse to read a sentence from the books or watch one minute of the movies are more likely to know that than any other detail of this importance ''inserted in the books!''
