The Mad Hatter/Playing With

Basic Trope: A crazy character is aware of and acnkowledges their insanity.

• Straight: Alice is crazy and mentions this fact.
• Exaggerated: Alice mentions her insanity in literally every sentence.
• Justified: Alice has a mental disorder that renders her able to understand that she's not quite right.
• Inverted: Alice reminds people that she is the sane one in a cast full crazy people.
• Subverted: Alice says that she's crazy, but it turns out she's not really crazy.
• Double Subverted: It turns out that she actually is crazy and continues to say that she is.
• Parodied: Lots of Alice in Wonderland jokes pop up in the work, all directed at Alice and her insanity.
• Deconstructed: Alice has severe mental psychological problems that she is aware of but can't fix, leading to a slow breakdown causing pain to her and the people around her.
• Reconstructed: Alice finds a medication that takes away the worst problems that her madness causes. She still has a few quirks, but nothing major, and she continues to (mostly jokingly) refer to herself as insane.
• Zig Zagged: We can never tell if Alice is really insane or not.
• Averted: Alice is crazy, but she doesn't recognize it.
• Enforced: ???
• Lampshaded: "Let's face it. I'm just crazy."
• Invoked: ???
• Exploited: ???
• Defied: Alice refuses to believe that she's crazy. Or, she knows she's crazy, but she refuses to talk or think about it.
• Discussed: "I thought crazy people weren't supposed to know they were crazy. How come Alice does?"
• Conversed: "I thought crazy people weren't supposed to know they were crazy. How come all the fictional loonies do?"
