A Glass in the Hand: Difference between revisions

 

== Fan Works ==

* In ''[[Dragon Age: The Crown of Thorns|Dragon Age the Crown of Thorns]]'', while in Orzammar, the only reason anyone realizes that {{spoiler|Raonar is pissed off at how Faren was slammed with Leske's betrayal}} is because {{spoiler|the prince grips on his glass of wine hard enough to crush it in his bare grasp, blood and all}}.

* Paul in ''[[With Strings Attached]]'' does this twice, once with a trash can lid and once with a stone cup. The first time, he is annoyed at John; the second time is inadvertent, and he douses himself with tea.

* ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]''

** In one book, Dean crushes the glass in his hand after Harry kisses Ginny.

* In ''[[Lord Peter Wimsey|Five Red Herrings]]'', Peter is talking to a witness/suspect while playing with a tube of paint. When the witness innocently says something important to the case, Peter accidentally bursts the tube.

* A mild variant of this -- the narrator crumpling a photograph in his hand when startled by a noise, then reflexively stuffing it in his pocket -- sets up [[The Reveal]] in Lovecraft's "Pickman's Model".
