For almost any trope, there is a flip side. A particular form of creatively reusing an existing trope: The trope is turned exactly on its head, or shown the other way around. For example, a trope that typically applies to heroes is applied to a villain, or a trope that typically applies to males is applied to a female character, or the other way around (Gender-Inverted Trope). Some good examples are also in Genre Blindness, where rather than being blind to the conventions of the story-type they are in, the characters are presented as being hyper-aware of the conventions. A trope can often be inverted in more than one way. Indicative of Postmodernism. Oftentimes it's Played for Laughs. Sometimes, however, it's not intended at all. For example, maybe a writer wanted to use brightness of hair to symbolize brightness of mind, not realizing that Dumb Blonde and Brainy Brunette are much more common tropes. See Playing with a Trope for a comparison with many other ways that a trope can be used. Oddly enough, this page is still pretty tiny, despite inversions of tropes constantly being mentioned on other pages. Let's add in as many as we can, shall we? See also Russian Reversal. Super-Trope to Opposite Tropes which specifically focus on taking completely contrasting takes on the same idea. Not to be confused with Subverted Trope, Averted Trope, or Defied Trope. Compare Swapped Roles. For the 2012 video game, see Inversion. |
