Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1994 film adaption of the 1990 play La muerte y la doncella written by Ariel Dorfman.Directed by Roman Polański and starring Sigourney Weaver and Ben Kingsley, Death and the Maiden covers the events of one night, a decade after the revolution in an unnamed South American country. A lawyer brings a neighbor (Kingsley) home in a storm, where the housewife (Weaver) becomes convinced that the neighbor tortured her years ago. The trio deal with the accusations, old memories, and the conflict between revenge and the law over the course of the night.Has nothing to do with the webcomic of the same name, or that one arc of Batman comics concerning Nyssa al-Ghul. Not to be confused with the artistic motif of the same name. | |

Literary Allusion Title | |
| Death and the Maiden / int_27690f66 | comment |
Literary Allusion Title: "Death and the Maiden" is a subject treated in art many times since the Renaissance, but the play also specifically references the poem by Matthias Claudius (original title: Der Tod und das Mädchen), which was scored by Franz Schubert. | |

| Death and the Maiden / int_537dd8fe | comment |
Affably Evil: When not in a position of power, Dr. Miranda is the friendliest man you'll ever meet. When serving as a Torture Technician, he was Faux Affably Evil, pretending to befriend and comfort the prisoners before assisting with their torture and raping them. | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Dr. Miranda is a family man who seems to be devoted to his children - he carries their pictures in his wallet, and when attending the musical performance he's very kind and tender with them. | |

| Death and the Maiden / int_6bd689ca | comment |
Meaningful Echo: The Doctor always quotes Nietzsche. And it's when Paulina tells him she heard the Doctor often quoting Nietzsche that her husband starts to believe her. | |

Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil | |
| Death and the Maiden / int_8a817c2a | comment |
Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: While Paulina detailed the torture she endured to Gerardo, this was the first time she told him about the rape. Gerardo is clearly much more revolted by that than by the beatings, electrocutions, and other torture that Paulina went through. | |

Soundtrack Dissonance: In-universe. Dr. Miranda used to listen his favorite lied Death and the Maiden while he was raping her. Gerardo and Miranda are fighting during a rock song. | |
