Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell/YMMV


  • Alas, Poor Scrappy: Drawlight
  • Moral Event Horizon: Crossed by Lascelles when he shoots Drawlight. While Drawlight may not earn much sympathy, his murder is so cold-blooded and unexpected that you know Lascelles has gone off the deep end.
  • Older Than They Think: The story of John Uskglass has some resemblance to an English chapbook, The Merry Pranks of Robin Goodfellow. In the story, Robin (aka Puck) is a Half-Human Hybrid child of Oberon whose father grants him magical powers and gives the promise of eventually holding a kingdom in Faerie. Uskglass is admittedly human by birth, but was a foster-son of Oberon.
  • Tear Jerker: Arabella's death.
    • The description of the meal after Waterloo.
  • The Woobie: Stephen Black. The Gentleman went looking for a woobie and ended up making one.
