Line 579:
* [[Domestic Abuser]]: To Nucky and Eli.
* [[Grumpy Old Man]]
*
* [[Jerkass]]
*
* [[Loners Are Freaks]]: He lives alone in what was once the family home, in the middle of nowhere.
*
* [[Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!]]: Or as he puts it: "Ah, what do I give a shit?"
* [[Shown Their Work]]: "Ethan"'s popularity as a baby name was nonexistent from the 1880s-about 1970 and spiked in the '80s to a peak around 2000. Therefore it just doesn't conjure up an old man in [[The New Tens|viewers' minds]], however it might've in [[The Roaring Twenties]].
Line 641:
* [[All Women Are Prudes]]: She dresses conservatively and only has sex with the lights off.
* [[Women Are Wiser]]: Though a conservative Christian, she has the common sense to put her beliefs aside when the situation requires. She considers surgery in order to cure her sterility and {{spoiler|she takes care of Lucy right after she gives birth instead of trying to blame her for her husband's infidelity.}} She also has an easier time displaying her emotions and showing preoccupation for her husband's well being, in contrast to her spouse's icy demeanor.▼
* [[The Dog Bites Back]]: Rose is ''not'' okay with Nelson {{spoiler|getting Lucy pregnant and intending to keep her baby and pass it off as theirs}}, no matter how desperately she wants a child. She {{spoiler|slaps and bites him in a confrontation after Abigail's birth, and two episodes later, serves Nelson with divorce papers}}.
* [[Extreme Doormat]]
* [[The Fundamentalist]]
* [[Law of Inverse Fertility]]
▲* [[Women Are Wiser]]: Though a conservative Christian, she has the common sense to put her beliefs aside when the situation requires. She considers surgery in order to cure her sterility and {{spoiler|she takes care of Lucy right after she gives birth instead of trying to blame her for her husband's infidelity.}} She also has an easier time displaying her emotions and showing preoccupation for her husband's well being, in contrast to her spouse's icy demeanor.
'''Lenore White'''
Line 655:
* [[Apron Matron]]
* [[But Not Too Black]]: In the language of the times, she's referred to as "high-yellow".
* [[Women Are Wiser]]▼
* [[Education Mama]]
* [[Grande Dame]]: Chalky is no [[Henpecked Husband]], though.
Line 661 ⟶ 660:
* [[Pass Fail]]: She wants to be seen by people (especially eligible suitors for her daughter) as upper-class, to the point of refusing to serve Hoppin' John at dinner because it is "not fit for company". Chalky really doesn't take her pretension well.
* [[Proper Lady]]
▲* [[Women Are Wiser]]
'''Esther Randolph'''
Line 700:
* [[Number Two]]: To Eli.
* [[Politically-Incorrect Villain]]: He is racist and possibly misogynist.
*
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: To Eli again. {{spoiler|Subverted ''big time'' once he realizes that Eli was complicit in his beating for talking to Esther Randolph.}}
