Line 153:
* [[Domestic Abuse]]: Several of the more subtle emotional and psychological varieties are employed by [[Domestic Abuser|Gothel]] to manipulate Rapunzel into staying with her in the tower. According to viewers familiar with the subject, it's [[Shown Their Work|portrayed very accurately.]]
* [[Don't Explain the Joke]]: Gothel's teasing may be mostly [[Stealth Insult]]s, but she does have some validity in telling Rapunzel to "stop taking everything so seriously." After Rapunzel reminds Gothel that the next day will be her birthday, Gothel responds with "No no no, can't be. I distinctly remember, your birthday was last year." From her face and the tone of her voice, you can tell she's teasing again. Rapunzel's response is "That's the funny thing about birthdays, they're kind of an annual thing." Gothel just stares.
* [[Double Standard]]: Gothel spends much of the film emotionally and psychologically abusing Rapunzel to get her to stay with her in the tower, and this is played completely seriously with Gothel being portrayed as a villainous figure. However, no one ever comments on Rapunzel herself [[Double Standard Abuse (Female on Male}|shoving Flynn Rider's unconscious body in her closet, knocking him unconscious ''again'' while he is tied to a chair and completely helpless, and saying "I will use this" while holding up the pan that she had knocked him unconscious with three times, menacingly to his face, when he argues with her to abandon their mission]].
* [[Dramatic Irony]]: Once she gets to the kingdom, Rapunzel becomes the center of attention during the celebrations, with nobody but the audience knowing that the celebrations are actually all for her anyway.
* [[Drowning Pit]]: Our heroes get trapped in a cave as it fills with water.
