Due to the Dead: Difference between revisions

Unsurprisingly, this has been incorporated in art as a trope, as a mark of character, and is [[Older Than FeudalismDirt]]. '''Evil''' characters will violate proper treatment of a corpse by mutilating, reanimating, or even eating the dead, though '''Due to the Dead''' is one of the most common [[Even Evil Has Standards|standards villains maintain]]. '''Good''' characters will (rarely!) do the same to a dead [[Complete Monster]] or the like, but usually are marked by their proper respect for the dead, down to even letting [[Revenge]] end when the villain is dead; if they have to destroy bodies to contain a plague, or display it to prove that he is really dead, they will often find it [[Dirty Business]].
