The Kid: Difference between revisions

* [[The Fagin]]: [[Justified Trope|Justified]]; Charlie was literally unable to get rid of the baby when he found it, for it was returned to him every time he tried to abandon it. Eventually, Charlie became attached to John and became the [[Papa Wolf]] variety of this trope.

* [[Heartwarming Orphan]]: Poor little John.

* [[Hot Pursuit]]: The infamous roof-chase scene in which Charlie out-runs a policeman to try and save John from being taken away.

* [[Missed Him By That Much]]: John's mother actually comes to the slum John is living in to do charity work and ''sees'' him, but has no way of knowing that it's the son she abandoned five years before.

* [[No Ending]]: You tell me what happens next. {{spoiler|It at least it ends on a happy note (we can presume Chaplin is at the very least on good terms with John's mother), though there is little resolution beyond that.}}

* [[Papa Wolf]]: The Tramp, when an official from a local orphanage takes the Kid away.

* [[Parental Abandonment]], played ''very'' sympathetically.
