Line 6:
* '''Inverted''': Alice is hideous, but is a model employee and citizen. People still treat her like gutter trash because she's ugly.
* '''Subverted''': Alice turns out to have several friendships that are not a result of her attractiveness - the people are genuinely into her for her personality.
** Alice doesn't really have any personal hangups about her attractiveness. Unfortunately, her good looks means she ends up having to deal with [[Dirty Old Man|dirty old men who leer at her]], [[Stalker Withwith a Crush|stalkers who won't take no for an answer]], and [[Driven Byby Envy|other women who are jealous of her looks and deliberately set out to sabotage or undermine her]].
* '''Double Subverted''': ...However, those people turn out to be blind, so they really had no standard of attractiveness to begin with.
* '''Parodied''': Alice is a movie star who is not much of an actress - clearly only hired because she's attractive. As she counts her piles of money, she laments that people are only into her for her looks.
Line 15:
** It drives people insane, knowing they saw the most beautiful person ever and everyone else (including themselves) looks scarringly ugly in comparison. (Cue Stalker reverse Narcissism)
* '''Reconstructed''': However, that just gives her the chance to legitimately display her skills for real.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Alice is so impossibly beautiful that when someone looks at her, ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy|their face melts off]] and [[Supernatural (TV series)|their eyeballs burn out of their head]].'' Alternately, Alice is a [[Gorgeous Gorgon]], and anyone who gazes upon her awesome beauty [[Taken for Granite|turns to stone]], so she must always wear a veil in order to protect others.
** Alice's beauty really ''is'' an honest-to-goodness curse (and not in the lethal sense): everyone who sees her face, including [[Aliens and Monsters]], [[The Faerie Queene|immediately attempts to rape her]], regardless of [[Even the Girls Want Her|gender]] or [[Cure Your Gays|sexual orientation]] or even ''[[Mars Needs Women|species]]''. Anyone who isn't trying to rape her is instead trying to steal her beauty for themselves, or failing that, kill her out of jealousy.
* '''Averted''': Alice is quite beautiful, but receives no special recognition from it.
