 Genre Shift
 The Fare / int_177a6464
comment
 Genre Shift: The Fare starts as a Film Noir inspired mystery thriller, stylized with harsh shadows and completely in black and white. Science Fiction elements are introduced when the "Groundhog Day" Loop kicks in and Harris and Penny are tasked with trying to break the loop. It eventually segues into an Urban Fantasy Fantastic Romance inspired by Classical Mythology.

 Foreshadowing

comment
 Foreshadowing: Harris's last name is Caron. Like Charon, Harris also serves as the Ferryman for recently deceased souls, accepting a coin as payment when the dead arrive in the Underworld. The Straw Feminist radio host mentions the myth of Hades kidnapping Persephone during her rant on chauvinism. Penny's destination is the corner of River and Elm. There are six main rivers flowing through the Greek underworld, and an Elm where false dreams hang is at its entrance. Penny tells Harris not the drink the water because it caused him to forget her in the first place. The water is from the river Lethe, the river of forgetfulness. Harris picks up Penny in the cold and speaks of someone else "riveting" he met in the summer. Persephone lives in the Underworld only during the winter. See Star-Crossed Lovers below.

 Mayfly–December Romance
 The Fare / int_b1efb7a7
comment
 Mayfly–December Romance: Harris and Penny's romance is this, when they first meet in the world of the living and fall in love. Considering he's still alive and human and Penny is really Persephone, it's safe to assume she's thousands of years older than he is.

 Red Herring: Harris is listening to a radio show about time traveling aliens that can alter reality. We're led to believe aliens could be the cause of the time loop, but the real cause is completely different.
