• Adaptation Displacement: Many people associate this music with dinosaurs and volcanoes rather than pagan sacrifice.
• Crowning Music of Awesome: Perhaps one of the best, if not the best, peices of classical music ever written.
• Magnum Opus: This can be considered Stravinsky's in addition to his Firebird ballet.
• No Such Thing as Bad Publicity: Diaghilev, the producer, seems to have subscribed to this belief, since he was thrilled when the first performance spawned a riot. Stravinsky and Nijinsky, on the other hand, did not share his optimism.
• Vindicated by History: Thanks mainly to Fantasia.
• The Woobie: The doomed virgin usually comes across as quite woobie-ish.
