Line 16:
* [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]] - The word "Brief" being in the title isn't for show.
* [[Big Bad]]- You could argue that Trujillo or the fukú curse fulfill this role.
* [[Big Breasts, Big Deal]]: Beli becomes ''extremely'' well-endowed when she [[She Is All Grown Up|hits puberty]]. She's initially ashamed about her breasts, but soon begins flaunting them when she realizes that they make men fall all over her. Her daughter Lola, on the other hand, is [[Pettanko|as flat as a board]] but became just as well-endowed in a different area.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: José Then and the rest of Belicia's old coworkers, who put themselves in danger of great harm by saving her life from some secret police thugs. José even pulls a pistol and jams it against one of their heads.
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]- {{spoiler|Oscar is no longer a virgin and found someone who he could get intimate with, but in doing so he got himself killed. Hypatía died from breast cancer. Lola and Yunior are not together, and Oscar's manuscript on his family's history is lost, possibly forever. But Oscar found love!}}
Line 52:
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]] - Oscar and Yunior definitely fall into these categories.
* [[She Is All Grown Up]]: Jacquelyn and Beli blossom almost overnight from skinny girls into stunningly beautiful and well-endowed teenagers, although it doesn't do them much good in the long run. ''Especially'' for Jacquelyn and her poor doomed family in the Age of [[Kavorka Man|Trujillo]].
* [[Shout
* [[The Blank]]- The Man Without a Face appears during times of tragedy in the de León family.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]] - Oscar's attempts to persuade Ybon to ditch her husband for him, despite him nearly being killed by his goons before escaping to America and the persuasions of those closest to him not to go through with the act. [[Unfortunate Implications|You can probably guess what happens next]].
