Captain Miles Standish and John Alden are best buddies, but they both have the hots for Priscilla Mullins. One day, Standish sends Alden to make his romantic overtures for him because that strategy always works. Out of friendship, Alden reluctantly does so, but Priscilla is naturally pretty unimpressed that Standish didn't speak to her himself. In fact, it turns out that she's into Alden. Oh dear, what a crazy Love Triangle this is!In the poem, as in Real Life, John Alden and Priscilla Mullins eventually end up together. One of their descendants was Longfellow himself, who claimed this poem was relating an authentic piece of oral family history. Historians are a bit skeptical about that.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Death of the Hypotenuse: Subverted. Alden is finally willing to marry Priscilla when he believes that Standish is dead. It later turns out that Standish is still alive, but everyone is okay with the John/Priscilla ship by then anyway. | |
