  • Awesome McCoolname: Isidor Ottavio Baldassare Fosco
  • Designated Hero: Walter is usually called the hero, despite being absent for a huge chunk of the novel. This may have been intentional, intended by Collins as a comment on Victorian sexism.
  • Fan-Preferred Couple: Marian and Walter
  • Magnificent Bastard: Count Fosco
  • Marry Them All: Hinted at with Walter, Laura, and Marian at the end.
  • In Name Only: The late-1990s BBC television version. A letter to the Radio Times wondered why the writer had bothered to keep the same title, so great were the differences in the plot.
