Line 289:
* [[Older Than Steam]]: One of the [[Zeroth Law of Trope Examples|paragons]] of this is [[Shakespeare|Shakespeare's]] ''Richard III'', who has a whole set: hunchbacked, with an atrophied arm, one leg shorter than the other, and born with all his teeth already in place. The real Richard III did not have these deformities.
* Almost literal in Friedrich Durenmatt's ''The Visit'', in which Claire, the villain, has an artificial hand and foot to symbolize her inhumanity.
* Averted with green-skinned misunderstood political activist Elphaba from [[Wicked (theatre)|Wicked]]. Of course, everyone ''thinks'' she's evil, even giving her the name Wicked Witch of the West, since it's a retelling of [[The Wizard of Oz]]. Played straight with her [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere (disambiguation)]] sister, wheelchair-bound Nessarose.
