Cool Old Guy: Velisarios. At his last appearance, he's 87 years old and still has strength men a quarter of his age could only dream of. | |

Poor Communication Kills: Well, not kills, exactly, but the entire bittersweet ending could have been avoided with the right questions. | |

False Flag Operation | |
| Captain Corelli's Mandolin / int_2dddd99d | comment |
False Flag Operation: Carlo and Francesco are sent to carry out such an operation. They are not told this is what they're doing and (as they realize when they figure out what they've actually done) they weren't supposed to survive it. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Pelagia believes Corelli died in the massacre. Corelli returns to the island after the war, intending to tell her the truth, but gains a mistaken impression that she has moved on and decides to leave her be. They do not meet again until they are both very old. | |

Cavalry Betrayal | |
| Captain Corelli's Mandolin / int_54616909 | comment |
Cavalry Betrayal: Twofold. The Italian government ends up defecting to the Allied cause, causing their German allies to retaliate by going after Italian troops and subsequently massacring them. | |

Sabotutor | |
| Captain Corelli's Mandolin / int_935b90b6 | comment |
Sabotutor/Trolling Translator: Corelli wants to get on with the people whose village his men are occupying, so he asks an Italian-speaking local to teach him how to greet the villagers in their own language. The "greeting" he gets taught is thoroughly impolite, and causes him to become even less popular. | |

Preserve Your Gays | |
| Captain Corelli's Mandolin / int_bacf8e98 | comment |
Preserve Your Gays: The gay character Carlo survives a horrific campaign in Albania while the heterosexual man whom Carlo secretly loves dies in his arms. Carlo does die late in the book, but it's hard to feel he's been singled out because the occasion is a massacre in which every single one of the other Italian soldiers except Corelli also dies. | |

Unperson: Antonia is unofficially adopted by Pelagia after being abandoned at her house as an infant, and her birth is never officially registered. She's rather startled to discover, when trying to get a passport as an adult, that she doesn't legally exist. | |

Bulletproof Human Shield | |
| Captain Corelli's Mandolin / int_d7e68c39 | comment |
Bulletproof Human Shield: Inverted, when a soldier deliberately holds one of his comrades behind him while they're under heavy fire. Played realistically, as the bullets do pass through Carlo and hit Corelli, but are slowed down enough that he's injured instead of killed. | |

Translation Convention | |
| Captain Corelli's Mandolin / int_e11b003d | comment |
Translation Convention: Bunny Warren arrives in Cephalonia speaking only Ancient Greek, which is rendered in the novel as (unusually scrupulous) Chaucerian Middle English. As the novel proceeds, Bunny's speech becomes gradually more modern. | |
