The Borrowers: Difference between revisions

(this trope applies to its various adaptations, and not the work itself. A book is NOT a movie of itself. Plus, it should be The Film of the Book) |

Line 53:
* [[Mouse World]]
* [[No Name Given]]: The human boy who befriends the Clock family. In the early '90s films, he's called George, in the '97 film he's called Pete [[Meaningful Name|Lender]], in the Ghibli film he's called Sho, and in the 2011 film he's called James. Only the '70s [[Hallmark Hall of Fame]] version kept him anonymous.
* [[Parody]]: Some readers believe that the eponymous characters of the ''[[The Borribles|Borribles]]'' books by Michael de Larrabeiti are intended as a vicious parody of the Borrowers. Given the ''other'' vicious parodies in the book -- such as the Rumbles vs. [[The Wombles]] -- it's not ''that'' far-fetched.
* [[Posthumous Character]]: Within the [[Framing Device]] story, ''all'' of the major characters might be considered this, since the main story takes place so long ago -- though only the Boy (who was the younger brother of Mrs. May, who first tells "Kate" the story of the Borrowers) is actually confirmed to have died; the Borrowers themselves simply left and were never seen again.
** Within the main story of the first book, several Borrower families are described -- all gone by now. The [[Posthumous Character]] who gets the most attention, however, is Arrietty's cousin Eggletina -- it was her death that caused Uncle Hendreary and his family to leave the house for good. {{spoiler|However, this is [[Subverted]] in the second book, when Eggletina proves to be very much alive.}}
