The Pillars of the Earth/YMMV
- Complete Monster: William.
- Memetic Molester: William. Not played for laughs, though.
- Moral Event Horizon:
- Alfred is a sadistic jerk towards Jack from the beginning. He crosses the line when he starts beating Aliena. Poor girl.
- William starts out as a jerkass and a doofus, nearly running over Tom's daughter and later being a pig to Aliena. His sack of the castle is just politics, but he really crosses the line into mustache-twirling villainy when he rapes Aliena in front of her brother.
- Tear Jerker
- The Woobie: See the Moral Event Horizon entry. At some point you just want to hug poor Aliena until she stops crying.
