Trope Makers	comment	A Trope Maker is the first unambiguous example of a particular trope. Though there may have been similar things in the past, these are the works that defined their respective tropes. See also Trope Codifier, which is the example of a trope that defines all other uses. If a Trope Codifier is very different in outlook than the Trope Maker, then the Trope Maker worked on an Unbuilt Trope. And, of course, don't confuse with Ur-Example —the earliest example that has the essence of the trope, but may not have the actual connotations and may be missing details. However, it's the Trope Maker which starts the consistent enough pattern to be called a trope. To provide a concrete example of all three, the Detective Story's Trope Maker is Edgar Allan Poe's C. Auguste Dupin stories, and Sherlock Holmes is the Trope Codifier; but the Ur-Example may well be "The Tale Of the Three Apples" in 1001 Nights (The Arabian Nights). Related: Trope Namer. If you make an entry here, expect some heavy challenges. Examples
