A Contract with God and Other Tenement Stories (1978) is the first Graphic Novel written by Will Eisner, who also wrote The Spirit in the 1940s. Although it popularized the concept and term "graphic novel", it is not so much a novel as a collection of short stories, each with a different cast of characters but each dealing with the inhabitants of a tenement in Dropsie Avenue.The stories are "A Contract with God", "The Street Singer", "The Super" and "Cookalein". | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| A Contract with God (Comic Book) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: At the end of A Contract With God Dropsie Avenue is destroyed by a furious fire, that starts on the roof of one of the buildings and spares only Frimme Hersh's old tenement, where a just man (or, more precisely, a just kid) is apparently living. According to the Book of Genesis, something like that happened to two infamous cities which called the wrath of God upon themselves. | |

Kick the Dog | |
| A Contract with God (Comic Book) / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: Frimme Hersh seems to go out of his way to be the worst landlord he can be, but particularly egregious is when he callously says "No exceptions!" after being reminded that "Missis Kelly", who was kind to him earlier in the story, won't be able to pay the newly-increased rent since she's on a widow's pension from Ireland. | |

A detail that might make it less blasphemous, or even more: as a Jew, the idea of individuals making covenants with God, or even winning court cases against Him is not unknown to Frimme Hersh. But God didn't agree to anything. God never offered any deals, let alone signed either "contract". Which means Frimme Hersh is trying to force God into a contract. | |

Sympathetic Adulterer: Sam in Cookalein. His wife is verbally abusive and they have a Sexless Marriage. When she finds out he's having an affair, she's not surprised and believes it's because she's become physically unattractive after a life of poverty and hard work, but a) Sam wants to have more sex with her, but she's a Sour Prude who refuses to discuss it; and b) the woman he's cheating on her with is in fact prettier than she is, but is middle-aged and working poor just like they are. In the end, it's clear that Sam is cheating with this other woman simply because she actually likes him. | |

Bargain with Heaven | |
| A Contract with God (Comic Book) / int_88699eee | comment |
Bargain with Heaven: Zig-Zagged. In his youth, during the persecution of Jews in Tsarist Russia, the main character of the titular story, Frimme Hersh, writes down a contract with God on a stone tablet. In his later life in America, he respects the terms of the contract scrupulously and he lives a happy life. However, when he rescinds it, he is even more successful by mundane standards, but he is unhappy. He finally tries to recant. | |

Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: Missus Minkus sleeps with fifteen-year-old Willie, and doesn't mind when she finds out his real age.

If he has been, it's difficult to separate that trauma from the trauma he suffers from seeing her beaten by her Crazy Jealous Guy husband, then watching them have make-up sex. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane | |
| A Contract with God (Comic Book) / int_cb70651c | comment |
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Played brilliantly in the titular story. On the surface, it may seem a religious cautionary tale about the foolishness of trying to force God's hand, complete of the protagonist being struck dead after having tempted God a final time and of a rain of fire falling on a guilty community. However, God is never seen nor heard and the entire story may just be the delusion of a man devastated by grief and obsessed with religion. | |

Blasphemous Boast | |
| A Contract with God (Comic Book) / int_d3f33049 | comment |
Blasphemous Boast: However good Frimme Hersh's intentions as a child were, trying to enter the Almighty into a contract to be rewarded in exchange for his dutiful and pious service, acting as though the two were equals, was this. After years of dissatisfaction in a hollow, greedy secular life, he tries to have a new iron-clad contract drafted by the elders, who are extremely uncomfortable but reason that it simply would be a "guiding document" for him to live his life by, derived from the word of the Torah; as Frimme again boasts to God that it's impossible for Him to break the second contract like the piece of paper means something, he has a heart attack and dies. A detail that might make it less blasphemous, or even more: as a Jew, the idea of individuals making covenants with God, or even winning court cases against Him is not unknown to Frimme Hersh. But God didn't agree to anything. God never offered any deals, let alone signed either "contract". Which means Frimme Hersh is trying to force God into a contract. | |

Hypocrite | |
| A Contract with God (Comic Book) / int_d52d28b6 | comment |
Hypocrite: When Frimme Hersh tells the story of his contract with God to the elders of the synagogue and asks them to draw a new one, their perplexed and horrified looks show that they immediately realize how blasphemous is his request. Later they discuss the request and one of them lampshades that they would violate the law of God by abiding by Hersh's request. But they decide that they are just abbreviating the law. It is implied that the reason is that Hersh has promised to donate to the synagogue the tenement at 55 Dropsie Avenue if they procure him a new contract with God. | |

| A Contract with God (Comic Book) / int_e1a4ba8a | comment |
Fetishized Abuser: When Irving Minkus catches his wife up to her old tricks, he slaps her around a bit and seems to be working himself up to a more serious beating or worse, but she defuses the situation by seducing him. They then proceed to have sex right in front of the fifteen-year-old boy that she'd been cheating on him with. You get the impression that this is just how their marriage works. | |

Gold Digger | |
| A Contract with God (Comic Book) / int_f6b2bfb7 | comment |
Gold Digger: Goldie and Benny is this trope, though the latter is a male example. When Benny discovered that Goldie was this rather than a wealthy person, he raped her out of frustration. Fannie seems to be a frustrated one. Most of her harangues directed at Sam are about money, and she claims that the whole reason for their Awful Wedded Life is because he is a bad provider (when in fact they're no worse off than their neighbors and better off than some). | |
