Tender Tears: Difference between revisions

A favorite trope of the Romantic movement, who regarded it as a mark of exquisite sensibility. Scorning them -- such as characterizing them as [[Water Works]] -- is a mark of a callous and hard-hearted soul; even those who do not cry themselves can appreciate [[Tender Tears]]. Indeed, the tender character may explain the cause of the tears with such poignancy as to inspire [[Manly Tears]] in less tender characters.

 

 

Contrast [[Cry Cute]], where crying makes a normally unsympathetic character more likable -- [[Tender Tears]] is part of a consistent sensitive character.
