* [[Arranged Marriage]] - To life!
* [[As the Good Book Says...]] - Probably [[Trope Namer]]. Tevye is always saying this to everyone, [[No Fourth Wall|including the audience]].

** Subverted in that he makes up most of the quotes or gets them wrong.

With this daughter, Tevye is shown to be on the edge of committing [[Honor
* [[Two Act Structure]]
* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]] - Motel.
