The Time Traveler's Wife: Difference between revisions

* [[Fille Fatale]]: Clare was a little like this as a teenager.

* [[Future Me Scares Me]]: [[Trope Namer]] [[Heroes (TV series)|Hiro]] has nothing on Henry:

"Yeah, I look like I've been folded, spindled and mutilated." }}

* [[In the Blood]]: Henry and Claire's daughter also has fits of chrono displacement, but unlike her father, she can exert a degree of control over them.

* [[Puberty Superpower]]: Averted. Henry and Alba develop their power naturally, but start before they're 10.

* [[Sarcastic Confession]]: Clare pulls this when Alicia tells her that she could swear she saw a naked 40-year-old Henry in her house once.

'''Alicia:''' Oh yeah, right. God, how bizarre. }}

* [[Shaped Like Itself]]: In the movie Gomez does this when hes trying to explain to Clare about his condition.

* [[Screw Yourself]]: Teenage Henry has a different definition of self-loving. When his dad walked in on him and... erm... him, Henry decided to just stick to more traditional outlets.

* [[Small Reference Pools]]: An [[Averted Trope]]. Can seem as if Niffenegger is referencing obscure works purely for her own amusement. (Even those who have little trouble keeping up with the characters' knowledge of art and poetry may still find the incessant quotations and art analysis annoying.)

* [[Suspiciously Specific Tense]]: How a future Henry accidentally lets slip to Clare that {{spoiler|her mother is dead in the year he comes from.}}

* [[Tempting Fate]]

* [[Time Travel Romance]]: Naturally.

* [[Token Minority]]: Celia (see below), Kimy, Nell and Charisse.
