Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })One of Graham Greene's better-known novels, Brighton Rock (1938) is set in 1930s Brighton, and describes the fall of Pinkie Brown, a 17-year-old boy who takes charge of a mob. After murdering a newspaper reporter, Fred Hale, Pinkie thinks he has successfully got away with it — until a woman who had been with Hale on the day, Ida Arnold, decides to pursue him for the crime he has committed. He is increasingly driven toward desperate means, further murders and eventually attempting to kill his newlywed wife and himself. He is successful only at the latter.The novel deals with numerous themes, including the nature of morality, and comes from a strongly Roman Catholic perspective — largely owing to it being the writer's religion. It has also been adapted twice into film — once in 1947, and once in 2010, which gave it a shift in period to the mods-and-rockers era.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Adaptational Job Change | |
| Brighton Rock / int_23568a2a | comment |
Adaptational Job Change: In the novel, Ida has no stated profession and is implied to be a sex worker. In the 1948 film, she is an actress and singer. | |

And Now You Must Marry Me | |
| Brighton Rock / int_478ae179 | comment |
And Now You Must Marry Me: Not a typical example of the trope, but Pinkie manipulates Rose into marrying him so she can't give evidence for the murder of Hale. | |

Celibate Hero | |
| Brighton Rock / int_a5d92fce | comment |
Celibate Hero: Pinkie Brown is a celibate villain, being thoroughly squicked by sexuality and femininity as a result of his childhood. He mentions having considered becoming a priest instead of a crook, and this is entirely plausible given his characterization. This doesn't stop him from consummating his marriage with Rose, and there's an implication that this almost redeems him. | |

Anti-Villain | |
| Brighton Rock / int_d001c42c | comment |
Anti-Villain: The morality of the characters is complex, but Greene certainly regarded Ida — the cheerful, open-hearted amateur sleuth who takes Pinkie on — as the most immoral character in the book. | |
