Alone Among Families | comment |
An orphan, an infertile woman (or man), or any other character missing a family has the isolation emphasized by being surrounded by families. This can be a place with many happy families, even solely occupied by such people in defiance of statistics, or the character's being sharp to notice such things. The family arrangements will naturally parallel those the character feels lacking in: a Lonely Rich Kid sees parents fussing over their only child, a sibling-less orphan sees parents with their children, an only child sees sibling groups, an infertile woman sees parents with newborns, etc. The romantic equivalent is Alone Among the Couples. See also Alone in a Crowd, Cold Turkeys Are Everywhere. |

Gilmore Girls: In "Afterboom", Lane feels lonely after she played with her band Hep Alien, and she's alone among happy couples and happy families. Lane is excited and feels like celebrating, but others are otherwise occupied: Gil makes out with his wife, Zach is surrounded by hot female fans, and Brian is with his family who came to see them play. Lane invited her best friend Rory, but she couldn't come. Lane can't even talk to her family because she moved out of her home against her mother's wishes and without her approval. | |

This was emphasized with Connor in the season 4 finale of Angel, when he takes all the mall people hostage. He talks about it as well, about how he sees all the families while he's alone. | |

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Poppy Proudfellow lost her entire family to a landslide during a previous "Migration", leaving her completely alone compared to the large family groups that make up the Harfoot community. This loss explains why Poppy is more cautious than her best friend Nori, who is more open to taking risks. | |

In The Secret Garden (1993), after her parents die in an earthquake, Mary Lennox takes a ship to England and waits for someone to pick her up. No one comes to claim her when her number is called, so she's told to step aside and wait while the other orphans accompanying her are greeted by loving relatives. By the time someone finally comes for her, it is well past dark and Mary is the only child left. | |
