Believing Their Own Lies
 Baudolino / int_a1ca3743
comment
Believing Their Own Lies: This is one of the main themes of the book. Baudolino and his friends go on a quest to find the kingdom of Prester John, even though they have no evidence that it exists; most people think it does because of a fake letter made by Baudolino's group. And if Baudolino made up the whole quest, he still falls victim to this trope at the end, when he rides away alone in search of the mythical land again.

Accidental Truth: Many of the more outlandish elements of Baudolino's letter turned out to be true. If Baudolino was telling the truth in the first place.

Beware the Nice Ones: Baudolino and his friends, while fairly lovable, are not to be messed around with. The Archpoet - despite being the mildest of the group initially, he's the one who betrays them.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })
