Wrong Genre Savvy: When he first meets the troll, Jack tried to bluff his way past it by using the "big brother" line from the Three Billy Goats Gruff. The troll knows he's lying. | |

Troll Bridge | |
| Troll Bridge (Comic Book) / int_49fd7ad5 | comment |
Troll Bridge: The bridge itself is just a disused brick rail bridge like any other in rural Britain. By the end of the story it's accumulated the graffiti and trash common to any normal bridge, and people are walking through and across it with no idea of what it actually is. Because Jack as the troll just sits there invisible and lets them. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| Troll Bridge (Comic Book) / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: One interpretation of the ending. Jack's wife and child leave him, his life seems empty and the art style becomes bleak and monochrome. He walks to the bridge and asks the troll to take him after spending most of his life running from it. It's not hard to see it as an allegory for depression and suicide. | |

First Love | |
| Troll Bridge (Comic Book) / int_a00fb5fd | comment |
First Love: Jack's female high school best friend Louise is his first love. He tries to sacrifice her to the troll to save himself, which makes him realise he doesn't actually love her, or at least not as much as he loves himself. | |

Classical Anti-Hero: Jack isn't evil but he's definitely not a nice person and doesn't have any typically heroic traits. | |

Deliberately Monochrome: As the story goes on Jack's clothing and the world in general become darker and more washed out. As a child he's dressed in bright colours, and by the end he's in solid black. | |

The City vs. the Country: In the background of the story. The idyllic rural areas of Jack's childhood are swallowed up by urban sprawl, mirroring his own personal decline. | |

All Trolls Are Different: The troll has a nose keen enough to "smell the dreams you dreamed before you were born". And it eats a person's life and takes their place, leaving them, in exchange, to take the place of the troll. | |
