Big No/Literature: Difference between revisions

* In the first ''[[Wild Cards]]'' book (from 1986), Dr. Tachyon shrieks ''"Noooooooooooooooooo!"'' when {{spoiler|he believes he has failed to prevent his friend Angelface from being shot.}}

* In George R. R. Martin's ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire|A Clash of Kings]]'' ship-captain Davos Seaworth unleashes one of these during {{spoiler|the bloody naval assault on King's Landing, when he realizes that one of the other attacking ships is about to set off a particularly nasty trap.}}

* This trope, among other things, robbed {{spoiler|Oz's death}} in ''The Lake House'' of [[Narm|much of its impact.]]

** Professor McGonagall gets a big "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" towards the end of ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows|The Deathly Hallows]]'', when she sees Hagrid carrying {{spoiler|what she thinks is Harry's lifeless body}}. But don't worry, {{spoiler|he gets better.}}

** Ron also gets an [[Narm Charm|adorably melodramatic]] one in ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban|Harry Potter]]''. Between that and the all-caps "AAAAAAARGH" he gets immediately preceding his Big No, the stretched-out drama takes up an entire line on the page.

** Ron gets another one in ''Deathly Hallows'' {{spoiler|after he hears Bellatrix give Greyback permission to kill Hermione.}}

* ''Starcraft: Ghost: Nova''. The title character does one of these every other page, just about. The other pages, somebody else fills in for her.

* In ''[[The Hobbit]]'', Gandalf tells Bilbo about Beorn and says that he is a [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|'skin-changer.']] Bilbo expresses his thoughts by asking whether he meant 'furrier', to which Gandalf responds: 'Good gracious heavens, no, no, NO, '''NO!''''

* In ''[[The Belgariad]]'', Ce'Nedra lets one out upon discovering that she has to marry Garion. Right in the middle of his [[Awesome Moment of Crowning]].
