These Hands Have Killed: Difference between revisions

Could be followed by [[Out, Damned Spot!]], but it doesn't have to be. This has nothing to do with washing one's hands of blood, metaphorically or literally -- onlyliterally—only with acknowledging the shedding.

This is a [[Sub-Trope]] to [[My God, What Have I Done?]] -- the—the character in question experiences that guilt while staring horrified at his hands -- andhands—and [[Blood on These Hands]]. If this trope is in a character's backstory, it's [[Sympathetic Murder Backstory|Sympathetic Murder Backstory.]] If a character is contemplating his or hands for an entirely different reason, usually drug-related, then see [[Contemplating Your Hands]].
