Millennium is a series of crime fiction/psychological thrillers/dark conspiracy books by the late Swedish author Stieg Larsson, which have won several awards and international acclaim. It was originally called "the Millennium Trilogy", despite not being meant to be a trilogy. Larsson died before the first book saw publication, and he had completed two more books at that time. Rumors say he planned as many as ten books with the characters from the trilogy. These books became bestsellers in their home country, due in part to their international attention.Books by Stieg Larsson: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo note Swedish title translates as Men Who Hate Women (2005) The Girl Who Played with Fire note A direct translation of the Swedish title in this case. (2006) The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest note Swedish title translates as The Air Castle That Was Blown Up; the Scandinavian idiom "air castle" is roughly akin to the English idiom "pipe dream". (2007)The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo begins with middle-aged reporter Mikael Blomkvist sentenced to prison for libel. While Blomkvist waits to serve his term, famous industrialist Henrik Vanger hires him to investigate a forty year old cold case: The disappearance and presumed murder of his then 16-year-old grandniece, Harriet. Blomkvist's investigation brings him into contact with Lisbeth Salander, the antisocial, borderline disturbed, and brilliant researcher who Vanger hired as a private investigator to do a security check on Blomkvist. Salander dislikes authority and violently opposes any form of abuse against women, and when Blomkvist comes to her for help in his investigation, she becomes his unlikely aide as they zero in on the truth behind Harriet's disappearance, which appears to involve a serial killer and rapist...The Girl Who Played with Fire has Blomkvist aiding two intrepid journalists who are researching the Swedish sex trafficking industry, which is linked to a mysterious criminal boogeyman known as "Zala". After the researchers begin digging more deeply into Zala's identity, they are found slain in their home, with Salander's prints on the murder weapon. While Blomkvist tries to track her down and discover the truth, Lisbeth herself begins a campaign against Zala, intent on revenge for more than just the researchers...In The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, Blomkvist discovers that a shadowy faction within the Swedish Security Service have manipulated the traumatic events of Lisbeth's past, including her history with the mysterious "Zala", and will stop at nothing to hide their decades-old deeds. Lisbeth's latest actions threaten to bust the conspiracy wide open, so the faction moves to clean up all evidence of their misdeeds — including Lisbeth herself...Several years after Larsson's death, the publisher hired Swedish author David Lagercrantz to write more books in the series, which are entirely Lagercrantz's own invention without any inspiration from Larsson's plans.Books by David Lagercrantz: The Girl in the Spider's Web note Swedish title translates as That Which Does Not Kill Us (2015) The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye note Swedish title translates as The Man Who Chased His Shadow (2017) The Girl Who Lived Twice note Swedish title translates as She Who Has To Die (2019)More recently, the Polaris publishing house bought the rights to the series from the Larsson estate, and commissioned another Swedish author, Karin Smirnoff. As is the case with the Lagercrantz books, Smirnoff's books are entirely her own invention.Book by Karin Smirnoff: The Girl in the Eagle's Talons note Swedish title translates as The Cry of the Sea Eagle (2023)The Swedish film adaptations, released starting in 2009, became huge successes in several European countries; with an all-star cast and a Danish director, Men Who Hate Women became the most-viewed Swedish film ever in several countries. (All three films eventually came into The United States via DVD and Blu-Ray releases, and all three featured their English language titles.)An American adaptation of Dragon Tattoo saw release in 2011; David Fincher directed, Steven Zallan wrote the screenplay, and the team of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross handled the music. The cast for the film included Rooney Mara as Lisbeth and Daniel Craig as Mikael. Though plans for a sequel were discussed, Mara and Craig ultimately did not return to their roles. The following film adaptation was 2018's The Girl in the Spider's Web, with Claire Foy as Lisbeth and Swedish actor Sverrir Gudnason as Mikael.This series of books and films is not be confused with the various other works named Millennium.

comment
Genius Burnout: Lisbeth Salander is the best hacker in Sweden, a hugely successful private investigator, and possibly one of the best mathematicians in the world — but whenever she actually has to use her talents in a significant way, she burns herself out and spends weeks or months afterwards lazing around. It doesn't help that she's had very little formal schooling, and thus has never really had to learn how to maintain a balanced schedule.

All Men Are Perverts
 Millennium Series / int_129749df
comment
All Men Are Perverts: The Swedish title, Men Who Hate Women, wasn't lying. Every major antagonist of the (earlier) books is male, and most of them are guilty of rape, child sex abuse and/or murder. The closest any female character comes to an antagonist is Isabelle Vanger, a callous and neglectful parent at her worst; Lagercrantz's later books feature the antagonistic character of Camilla, who has links to the Russian mob, and is Lisbeth's long-lost sister. However, again, Camilla is not shown to be especially perverted or depraved, and is later revealed to have been a survivor of abuse herself.

 Millennium Series / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: Larsson said the character of Lisbeth was his version of a modern-day, grown-up Pippi Longstocking, which accounts for her determination, anarchist spirit and red hair (she dyes it black). Sadly, her absent father is not a jolly pirate. It also gets lampshaded in Dragon Tattoo when Armansky, Frode and Lisbeth are discussing Mikael and his nickname of "Kalle Blomkvist" comes up. Lisbeth says she understands why he hates the name and that she would punch anyone who ever referred to her as "Pippi Longstocking", causing Armansky to squirm because he's thought of her that way before. Double subverted with The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest; while not as violently graphic as the other two books/movies, the themes are still considerably dark, if not darker.

 Millennium Series / int_1d18887f
comment
Pay Evil unto Evil: Lisbeth's treatment of Bjurman is incredibly harsh, and disturbingly sadistic. But it was so precise and ingenious that it could qualify as a Moment of Awesome: rather than killing the man, Lisbeth opted to make Bjurman suffer the exact same abuse he put her through, up to every little detail, including the rape and the blackmail, just to make him realize how it felt. However, leaving Bjurman alive left him free to make new plans against her, which causes problems for her in the sequels.

Papa Wolf: Holger Palmgren and Inspector Bublanski towards Salander, Holger because he was her guardian and Bublanski because of what happened to her as a child. Bublanski is also protective of Sonja Modig, forbidding her from leaking Björk's report since it would cost her a lot and possibly lead to nothing. Palmgren gets a Tear Jerker and Moment of Awesome at the trial when he sees the DVD of Bjurman raping Salander and asks why Lisbeth didn't tell anyone. He calls out the justice system for failing his former ward, and for destroying her trust in calling for help.

 Millennium Series / int_28c1d543
comment
Defrosting Ice Queen: A very mild version for Lisbeth at the beginning of the book, which must be taken in context to how she normally acts. She appears to mature and consider how her behaviour (such as abandoning Palmgren and not contacting Miriam) made her appear selfish. The old Salander swings back into play the moment she finds out about Zala. Some readers find this a bad thing, as they think it changes Lisbeth from being a strong female character to a male appeaser.

Hollywood Hacking: Mostly averted by Lisbeth and her fellow hackers; for the most part it's extremely accurate. All of the members of Hacker Republic are good with computers, Lisbeth particularly. And not in the "take them out of the box and set them up" way, more in the "give her a high-level PC and a couple days and she'll get you the Pentagon's secret files" way.

That One Case
 Millennium Series / int_2ea2680a
comment
That One Case: A Posthumous Character, officer Torstensson, fretted over a "Rebecka Case" for the remainder of his life. (Rebecka was a young woman who was brutally murdered in 1949.) Characters who knew him, including Morell, have adopted "Rebecka Case" as an alternative name for this trope. Inspector Morell was assigned to Harriet Vanger's disappearance when it happened, 36 years ago, and has been helping Henrik Vanger keep up with it ever since.

Depraved Bisexual: Lisbeth is a rare sympathetic example, openly bi and polyamorous (the first lover we see her with is female) with a supremely messed-up psyche that includes a Pay Evil unto Evil mindset.

Embarrassing Nickname
 Millennium Series / int_317629db
comment
Embarrassing Nickname: "Kalle Blomkvist", the protagonist in a series of children's mystery novels by Astrid Lindgren.note Mikael first rose to prominence by correctly deducing the identities of a squad of masked bank robbers, and the "plucky young detective" angle was too good to pass up Lisbeth calls him this whenever she wants to tease him or he's annoying her, and she's the only one he lets get away with it. As an answer, however, Mikael sometimes uses "Pippi Longstocking" to refer to her.

Out of Focus: despite appearing in the second book and being intimately involved with the running of Millennium magazine, Harriet Vanger is not present in this one and is mentioned maybe once. Forgotten Fallen Friend: Possibly. Dag and Mia, the slain journalists who kick off the previous novel's plot, are also mentioned less often, but Blomkvist not only refers to them as his "friends" but goes to talk with Dag's family about publishing his book and what they want to do with the material.

Character Development: Lisbeth at the very end of the novel. She who vowed never to compromise accepts that, because she's finally achieved her legal majority, she can no longer be a WoManchild and has to make a little compromise. "Not So Different" Remark: When she has her confrontation with Niedermann. He obviously deserves to die, but she realizes she can't be the one to do it because she'd forfeit the rest of her life. She then thinks back to Harriet, whom she once castigated for refusing to solve her own problems, and realizes that this judgment was unfair.

She buys him a Christmas present, and on the way to give it to him, sees him on the way to his apartment with his part-time lover Erika. She then walks away and tosses the present in a dumpster, berating herself for being so foolish as to fall in love. On the other hand, a horrible serial murderer and rapist has been brought to justice and a long-suffering uncle has been reunited with the niece he thought was dead for thirty years. Also, Wennerström will never be a threat to anyone else again and Lisbeth is now a multi-millionaire.

Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Lisbeth has it to an extent. She hacks into people's computers and, if necessary, reports them to the authorities for their illegal actions (this is her justification). She hacks into everybody's computers and pretty much lives on her computer, so even if she isn't going after someone she'll still be hacking people. Mikael has this attitude much more strongly.

Honor-Related Abuse: Faria's older brothers are hardcore Islamists. While their behavior was restrained while their mother was still alive, after her death, they began cracking down on Faria's movements, keeping her increasingly isolated in their home while they arranged a marriage between her and the owner of a textile factory. After they killed her boyfriend Jamal, she finally snapped and shoved her brother Ahmed out the window, where he fell to his death. Even after going to prison, she's still in danger, as her older brother Bashir has put out a bounty on her head.

comment
Polar Opposite Twins: Lisbeth's twin sister Camilla was a "normal" teenager, pretty much the antithesis of Lisbeth in every way (however, she seems to have taken the side of the father who badly abused her mother). She never actually appears in person during the original three books, and Lisbeth makes no effort to trace her. It seems likely that Larsson had in mind a role for her (possibly an unpleasant one) in one of the books he died before writing. The fourth book (not written by Larsson) would take this trope even further by turning Camilla into a power-hungry leader of a Russian crime syndicate.

A Friend in Need: Mikael invokes this hard when Lisbeth is named the primary suspect in three murders. After she gives her word that she didn't do it, he devotes all of Millennium's resources to helping clear her name. Of course, she did save him from a very nasty death, so he owed her something...

Wham Line: "Zalachenko is her father." It's not quite the same, but for those who don't see it coming, this line has an impact comparable to a certain revelation in The Empire Strikes Back.

Rebellious Spirit: Lisbeth has pretty major issues with authority. It bites her in the ass a lot, most often at times when it's least convenient. Mikael even notes in Hornet's Nest that many of her problems are related to this.

comment
Disproportionate Retribution: When Lisbeth goes shopping for an apartment (with enough money to afford anything), her appearance causes a real estate agent to condescendingly dismiss her out of hand and pretty much shove her out of his office. She retaliates by hacking into his computer, finding a bunch of undeclared income, and reporting him to the tax authorities.

Crazy-Prepared: The Säpo branch called The Section for Special Analysis, which has access to government files and resources, extremely talented operatives, and a total willingness to use any means necessary to protect their own asses. Or the country. But mostly their own asses. Soon Blomkvist becomes this, after the break-in. He buys a second line of mobile phones, hires Milton Security to install security cameras, and prepares a counterattack.

Not What It Looks Like: In the novel, the previously-friendly owner of the Hedeby cafe becomes noticeably cool to Mikael after Lisbeth comes to town, and he realizes it's because it looks like a 40ish guy is shacking up with a teenager. The movie takes it even farther, with a muckraking reporter for the local newspaper trying to stir up controversy by focusing on the same thing.

Intelligence Equals Isolation

comment
Intelligence Equals Isolation: Lisbeth is brilliant when it comes to mathematics, computer hacking, and a general ability to figuring things out. She even has photographic memory, which means everything she ever learns, she remembers. But she is completely asocial and has very few friends or acquaintances. Her lack of communication is the main reason that she is declared incompetent by psychologists. In the second volume when Lisbeth is suspected of murder, Miriam Wu, Armansky and Blomkvist all describe Lisbeth as one of the most intelligent people they know, to the surprise of Bublanksi and the other police officers.

Broad Strokes

comment
Broad Strokes: A few key details of Lisbeth's adventures in the other books seem to have been retconned or interpreted differently than Larsson's original approach. These include: The ending scene to Hornet's Nest where Lisbeth lets Blomkvist back into her life seems to have never happened. They're still on the outs with each other. Mikael's girlfriend of the third book is long gone and not even mentioned, despite the hints at the end that this was turning into a serious relationship. Camilla is interpreted as being a sociopath on the level of Zala despite hints in the other books that she was the only normal one in the family and possibly didn't even know anything about her family's legacy. The explanation for the Wasp handle and tattoo. See Retcon.

comment
I Work Alone: Lisbeth pretty much always. As an investigator for Milton Security she never comes into the office, or chats with her colleagues. In the second volume Blomkvist repeatedly offers help when she becomes a suspect in a murder investigation and she denies him, because she chooses to look out for herself and accept help from no one else as well as being hurt and angry over seeing him with Erika Berger and therefore finding it too painful to be near him. This leads to her confronting Zalachenko and Niedermann alone, getting shot in the head and buried alive. She manages to climb out of her grave and is found nearly unconscious by Blomkvist, who calls an ambulance, which saves her life.

Police Are Useless: Not so much all police; most of them are shown to be conscientious and dedicated to their jobs. But there are several who have prejudices and hang-ups that make them useless at best and dangerous at worst. Officer Faste in Played With Fire and Inspector Paulsson of Hornet's Nest are perhaps the two worst offenders. Police Brutality: Oh, God. This series has one of the most disturbing examples ever put to paper, because it's not physical violence. It was partly this brutality that made the borderline insane Lisbeth the way she is.

Government Conspiracy: It turns out that Lisbeth's entire crappy teen and adult life was engineered by a couple of Corrupt Bureaucrats and some Secret Police to make sure she kept quiet about their deal with Zalachenko. It works for a surprisingly long time, until Bjurman, trying to get free of Lisbeth's control, contacts his old buddy Zalachenko, which leads to Lisbeth's being framed for Bjurman, Dag and Mia's murders. Then she finds out about Bjurman's involvement in the Conspiracy and gets angry. Then Lisbeth finds out that Miriam Wu, one of the few people she truly cares for, is being savaged in the press, and was kidnapped and almost killed by Niedermann. Then she attacks.

The Conspiracy: The Registry for the Study of Genetics and Social Environment was ostensibly just a program for studying the conflict of nature vs. nurture in children. In reality, it was a radical experiment in which twins from homes with Romani descent were taken away from their birth parents and put into differing foster homes, for no other reason than to find out how the different environments would shape them.

Pragmatic Adaptation: Once more, most of the important plot points are intact, with only a few minor subplots cut for the sake of time or clarity. Erika's never left Millennium (and has no stalker), Trinity and the rest of Hacker Republic are reduced to just Plague, and Wadensjö's battle with Clinton for control of The Section is missing. However, there are a couple of head-scratching moment differences. Christer Malm inexplicably loses his nerve as it pertains to Millennium's work, Niedermann is reduced to just a Giant Mook that shows up every half-hour or so to hurt or kill people (even at one point attemping to attack Lisbeth while she's at the hospital), much of Annika's amazing legal work is gone, and the ending changes Lisbeth and Mikael's renewed friendship into an awkward "Um...okay...bye." deal.

Black-and-White Morality: ...good guys who've been mistreated (or are on the side of those who've been mistreated) taking revenge against their abusers. Lisbeth in particular possesses a very strong moral code (briefly: "Pay Evil unto Evil, leave everyone else alone") and has lines that she will not cross. Most people think she's batshit crazy (her tactics do tend to be... unsubtle), but those who know her well have realized that she's actually The Fettered, and vouch for her integrity without question.

Sex Is Evil: Could be assumed, considering the high amount of rape in the first (they get considerably toned down in the later books/movies.) Played with by Mikael Blomkvist. All his relations with women are pretty good. But Erika believes that, while he's open and honest about his no-strings-attached sex life, Blomkvist still isn't handling it well when women do fall in love with him, and he ends up hurting them.

Part of the problem is that Larsson's father and brother are attacking his will, and Eva Gabrielsson, who is "only" his girlfriend, has almost no rights to his estate under Swedish law. (They remained unwed because both of them were targets to Neo-Nazis and other radical conservatives, and Swedish law would have required them to publish their address if they married.)

Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: Lisbeth dismisses Mikael's sympathy towards Martin Vanger, a Serial Rapist and Killer, saying that even though Martin was also raped by his father, he had every opportunity to choose a different path, and did what he did because he enjoyed it. She compares this to her own background: she was abused by her father as well, and is raped by her court-appointed guardian in the book, but she fought back against her abusersnote Granted, in a very Pay Evil unto Evil way: she set her father on fire, which is the reason she has a court-appointed guardian. Her first one was a Nice Guy but he has a debilitating stroke early in the book. She secretly films Guardian #2 raping her, then ambushes him, sodomizes him with a large dildo, and then tattoos "I am a rapist" on his chest, while blackmailing him into emancipating her with the video. Whew! instead of lashing out at innocent bystanders.

Retcon
 Millennium Series / int_b2280b66
comment
Retcon: Lisbeth's hacker handle of "Wasp" was originally explained as an affectionate nickname from her boxing sessions with Paolo Roberto. In this novel, it's described as an homage to her favorite comic book character — The Wasp, founding member of The Avengers. This also informs the Big Bad of the novel, whose deliberately takes the pseudonym "Thanos" because it alludes directly to a famous Arch-Enemy of that Super Team. (Given that the novel was released in 2015, shortly before Phase III of the Marvel Cinematic Universe which was absolutely dominated by Thanos, it may have also been an attempt to generate some Cheap Heat.)

Rape and Revenge: Lisbeth's advocate Nils Bjurman lures her to his apartment, where he sodomizes her with a sex toy, rapes and tortures her, then orders her to come back a week later. She does so, but stunguns, ties up and sodomizes him, then tattoos "I am a sadistic pig, a pervert, and a rapist" on his chest and stomach. She also tells him that she recorded his assault of her, and that he will be doing exactly what she says from now on, or he'll be going to jail for a very long time.

Axe-Crazy: Lisbeth tossed a Molotov cocktail on her father when she was 12, and her absolute refusal to cooperate with anyone in the mental health profession lead them to classify her as this. When she's also portrayed this way by the media during the manhunt to find her in Played With Fire, she decides to make the most of it and interrogates a john while wearing an all-black outfit and seriously fucked-up face paint, just to mess with him. Becomes literally Ax-Crazy in the second book's conclusion when she bludgeons her father in the face and leg with an axe after she is shot and buried alive.

Too Dumb to Live
 Millennium Series / int_b58b4e3c
comment
Too Dumb to Live: The third book gives us Inspector Paulsson. Blomkvist walks up to the police and gives them his weapon, telling them that a big damn fight occurred and Lisbeth got shot in the head. They arrest him for possession of an illegal weapon before they call the ambulance. He then tells them where Niedermann, an extremely dangerous super-strong, pain-immune sociopath is restrained... and Paulsson sends two fat drunk handlers to pick him up. When he bothers to send more people to check on them, an hour later, one of them has been beaten within an inch of his life, and the other is dead with a broken neck. Blomkvist first points out "I Warned You this guy is a monster", then repeatedly calls Paulsson an "imbecile." When actually-competent police arrive on the scene, they agree with his assessment. Even Zalachenko makes a fatal error. He Failed a Spot Check in asking for the Section to fix all of his problems. He assumed that he was too valuable for the Section to have killed. He was wrong.

Double Standard

comment
Double Standard: Lisbeth is labelled a prostitute because she's been to a park late at with a man. Later, the media go into a frenzy over her lesbianism. Erika Berger is absolutely terrified of having her sex life exposed. At the same time, Mikael Blomkvist leads a very active sex life with multiple partners without giving it much thought - and no one seems to care. This is probably deliberate, given the books' strong anti-misogynist overtones. Lisbeth is fiercely protective of her own privacy, but doesn't give a damn about that of others.

Maybe Ever After: Mikael and Monica. They each admit (separately) to Erika that "I think I'm in love with him/her". But despite this declaration, Mikael isn't sure if it's serious. Indeed, despite an obviously strong mutual attraction, there's really nothing to suggest this will be anything more substantial than the numerous flings he's gotten into throughout the trilogy.

Self-Insert Fic: Compare Larsson and Blomkvist: both are middle-aged Swedish journalists and both founded magazines devoted towards investigative reporting (albeit with different emphasis). Blomkvist, although a somewhat flawed character that goes through hell a few times, has a strong wish fulfillment element in him: he constantly gets good looking women with little to no effort and he's a respected journalist who's on top of his profession and has accomplished stuff akin to legends.

 Millennium Series / int_ba72eebb
comment
Waif-Fu: She's no ninja warrior; as a fighter, Lisbeth is best at avoiding getting hit. When forced to actually fight, she usually gets the upper hand on her attackers because of four things: 1, her size causes her opponents to underestimate her; 2, she's quick; 3, she fights dirty; and 4, she really fights dirty. Part of the problem is that Larsson's father and brother are attacking his will, and Eva Gabrielsson, who is "only" his girlfriend, has almost no rights to his estate under Swedish law. (They remained unwed because both of them were targets to Neo-Nazis and other radical conservatives, and Swedish law would have required them to publish their address if they married.)

Sadistic Choice: A rare example of one being presented by the good guys. After Lisbeth and Blomkvist get to the bottom of Martin's activities and uncover Harriet, they're asked not to go public. This will spare Harriet the media circus, but also denies justice and closure to Gottfried and Martin's (many other) victims. It also requires Blomkvist to commit a Treachery Cover Up — the journalistic equivalent of the Moral Event Horizon — so he still feels dirty even after Lisbeth negotiates a Third Option.

Berserk Button: Lisbeth only has a few people she really cares about, but attacking one of them presses this. Shooting yourself in the head will usually be less painful than what she'll do to you. And if you abuse a woman or child and Lisbeth finds out about it, she'll do everything in her power to ruin your life. And mentioning the name "Lisbeth Salander" to one particular guy named Zalachenko guarantees a lot of fucked up shit will happen just so he can try and get revenge on her.

During her defense of Salander, Gianinni says that Lisbeth is a strong woman, stronger than Gianinni for not only refusing to crack under the "torture" that Teleborian subjected her to, but for fighting back the only way she could, "with her contempt" of Teleborian.

Morally Ambiguous Doctorate: Teleborian, who, while undeniably talented (he had at one point helped talk a spy out of suicide and into becoming a double agent), also made horrendously irresponsible conclusions about Lisbeth's mental state based on the fact that she refused to acknowledge his authority over her. He was also drafted by The Section to oversee her care because they knew his view fitted with theirs. There is little, if not nothing, ambiguous about a corrupt pedophile who tortures his patients.

Red Herring: When it's discovered that Harriet was keeping notes on the deaths of other young women, it's assumed that whoever killed the other women killed Harriet to keep her silent. Once it's discovered Martin was the killer, Mikael confronts him about Harriet, but he had no idea what happened to her either. Turns out Harriet was still alive, going into hiding to keep Martin from killing her.

Contrived Coincidence/ There Are No Coincidences: Armansky and Blomkvist take note that it's quite convenient for whoever protected Zalachenko in the past that he got killed on the same day that Giannini and Blomkvist were both robbed of their copies of the Björk report. Good thing that Blomkvist had one last copy...

comment
Reasonable Authority Figure: Officer Bublanski, the cop in charge of Lisbeth's case. He's aware that there are things which don't add up, and when he's presented with the truth, he works to help clear her name. Dragan Armansky, Lisbeth's former boss, and Holger Palmgren, her former guardian - both of them try to act as father figures to her. Both tell her off when she really needs it but still go to extremes for her. Lisbeth counts them both among the few people she respects, and takes the initiative of visiting.

Cat Scare: Very subtly done. Upon returning to the cottage after spending the weekend back in Stockholm, Mikael finds the stray cat he's been feeding wandering around and wonders aloud how it got into the house, seeing as he left all the doors and windows locked, thus implying that someone's been snooping around. Later, when the cat is brutally murdered and left outside the house, it's clearly meant as a warning to him

Alone with the Psycho
 Millennium Series / int_dfe687c9
comment
Alone with the Psycho: Mikael makes the incredibly stupid mistake of trying to go over to confront Martin Vanger when Mikael starts getting suspicious. Only a Big Damn Heroes moment by Lisbeth gets him out alive. In the Swedish movie, Mikael's not as stupid - he is completely unaware of what Martin really is, until the tranquilizer syringe gets jammed into his neck. And Martin was seemingly going to let him go and probably try to pin everything on Harald, had not Mikael made a slip in conversation.

Rejecting the Inheritance: Lisbeth Salander tries to do this with her father's ill-gotten wealth, as much of it was derived from human trafficking and she already has more than enough money as a result of her various jobs, but she's quickly hit by the consequences; her lawyer explains that under the law, she has to give specific instructions on what to do with the inheritance first.

All prostitutes in the series are depicted as unwilling sexual slaves who are victims of human trafficking. Blomkvist states that all of their clients are equivalent to rapists.

Ambiguous Disorder
 Millennium Series / int_e8cfde67
comment
Ambiguous Disorder: Lisbeth. Mikael, on the subject of her photographic memory, pattern recognition skills, general brilliance and absolute sociality, thinks to himself, "Asperger's syndrome, or something like that." He then goes on to state that for every trait that Asperger's would explain about Lisbeth, there are symptoms that don't fit at all - while Asperger's has a high memory rate for obsessions, that only applies to obsessions, and high-functioning Aspies tend to tune out a lot of stimulus. And her propensity towards what her boxing partner calls "Terminator Mode" (seemingly total passivity right until an arbitrary point is breached, followed by focused and unrelenting violence), sounds a lot like PTSD - again except the "passive" stage. In a stable environment Lisbeth would have eventually grown up to be... a damned good spy.

First, there's Officer Faste, who believes Lisbeth's nuts and refuses to accept any possibility of her innocence, because he's got issues with lesbians and thinks she is one. Then, Milton Security employee Hedström, who despises her for threatening to expose him for defrauding a client. Nils Bjurman, who sexually assaulted and threatened her, Dr. Teleborian, who had the 12 year-old Lisbeth tied up in the mental hospital whenever she defied him, and so this will stay a relatively short list, Prosecutor Ekström, who plays up the media frenzy surrounding her just because he likes being in the spotlight. Oh, and Lisbeth

Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: One of the first things we learn about Lisbeth is that she once turned in a client report to Armansky that began with pages and pages of relatively normal stuff before, without changing tone at all, revealing him to be a pedophile. With pictures of him meeting a child prostitute. And an interview with her.

Dark and Troubled Past: Daniel Brolin had a pretty awful childhood. His mother Rosanna died in childbirth, his father Kenneth was manic-depressive and thus unfit to care for him, and he spent a few years in an orphanage before being handed over to an extremely abusive foster home where he was treated as cheap labor. He finally got away and ran off to America, but then found out that he had a twin brother. His reunion with Leo was happy, but landed him back on the Registry's radar, causing them to kill Leo in order to cover up their crimes and then blackmail Daniel into taking Leo's place.
