No Self-Buffs: Because Jasper entered Deadland while still being alive, his presence inadvertently causes the dead citizens to begin remembering their time in the Living World. This doesn't affect him though, as he slowly loses his memories the same way that everyone else does, even triggering a Third-Person Flashback shortly after forgetting all of his memories. | |

Note to Self: Discussed. Gretchen mentions that she tried to hang on to her memories by writing them down in a notebook - but wound up throwing the book away because trying to think about people she'd probably never see again was more painful than just letting the memories go. | |

Afterlife Angst: Inverted - the corpses in Deadland are fine with the fact that they're dead, and the song "Living Dead" is about how liberating death is. By comparison, life is portrayed as a horrible ordeal, and the song "The Killing" is about how life is full of awful people. | |

Humans Are Bastards | |
Jasper in Deadland (Theatre) / int_3d4d3dc9 | comment |
Jasper and Agnes talk about their parents in scenes that are vital to the plot and/or their character development; when Cerberus demands to know what it means to be human, Jasper describes his parents as proof that Humans Are Bastards. When Ammut makes Jasper confess his greatest misdeeds, he admits he fears it was his fault that his parents got divorced. When Agnes regains her memories, she remembers that her father was abusive and tells Jasper that they should stay in Deadland. Despite this, all of their parents combined have approximately a minute of time on stage. | |

Love Hurts | |
Jasper in Deadland (Theatre) / int_424d15ad | comment |
Love Hurts: All of the main characters wind up getting hurt physically and emotionally due to love. Jasper is emotionally hurt by Agnes' love for him, because he doesn't think he's good enough for her, and he's physically hurt by his own love for her when he risks his life trying to get her back from Deadland. Agnes is emotionally hurt by the fact that Jasper doesn't seem to reciprocate her love for him, and she physically hurts herself when she drowns while trying to face her fears, in an attempt to make him face his fear of commitment. Gretchen literally pulls her heart out and gives it to Jasper, but this doesn't change the fact that he cares about Agnes more than anyone else. Gretchen also can't remember her time in the Living World, so she can't even remember if anyone's loved her as much as Jasper loves Agnes, and she also knows that she can't leave Deadland anyway. | |

Adaptational Alternate Ending | |
Jasper in Deadland (Theatre) / int_4a5fcde | comment |
Adaptational Alternate Ending: Zigzagged. Early on, Gretchen implies that Jasper and Agnes will wind up suffering the same fate as Orpheus and Eurydice, only to have the show pretend to go for a different Downer Ending multiple times. Ultimately it's played straight as they both return to life, unlike Orpheus and Eurydice. Once Jasper and Agnes regain their lost memories, they realize that they aren't even sure that the Living World is worth returning to, and prepare to drink more Lethe-brand Water to erase their memories again. This gets subverted when Eurydice herself arrives and convinces Jasper not to give up on life. After Jasper and Agnes reach Pluto, he initially refuses to give them the same offer that he gave Orpheus. Unwilling to accept Agnes' death, Jasper offers his own life in exchange for Agnes being allowed to return to the surface. Touched by this sacrifice, Persephone convinces Pluto to let them both leave. Finally, after being told not to look back while swimming through the River Lethe, Jasper almost makes the same mistake as Orpheus, but is saved by Eurydice again. Then when he reaches the surface, for a moment it seems like Agnes didn't make it. | |

Grand Romantic Gesture | |
Jasper in Deadland (Theatre) / int_4dc13d51 | comment |
Grand Romantic Gesture: Agnes is in love with Jasper, but Jasper thinks they should just be friends because he's afraid that a relationship between them would break apart like his parent's marriage. In an attempt to get Jasper to face his fears, Agnes tries to face one of her own fears - she goes to the lake that Jasper enjoys swimming in, and dives into it from a great height, which Jasper often did, but she was afraid to do. This quickly backfires; as Agnes isn't as good at swimming as Jasper, she ends up drowning before she can reach the shore, and Jasper gets sucked into Deadland when he tries to save her. | |

Devil, but No God: Implied; Lucifer is a minor antagonist, and he mentions that he used to be an angel. However, he is the only character from Abrahamic religions, as the other characters are all from Egyptian, Roman and Norse myths. | |

It's All My Fault: When confessing his misdeeds, Jasper's worst confession is that it's his fault Agnes got stuck in Deadland. Later, Agnes blames herself for getting Jasper stuck in Deadland, as she declares her death (and Jasper's attempt to prevent it) was her own fault. | |

Small Role, Big Impact | |
Jasper in Deadland (Theatre) / int_805deb6e | comment |
Small Role, Big Impact: Jasper and Agnes talk about their parents in scenes that are vital to the plot and/or their character development; when Cerberus demands to know what it means to be human, Jasper describes his parents as proof that Humans Are Bastards. When Ammut makes Jasper confess his greatest misdeeds, he admits he fears it was his fault that his parents got divorced. When Agnes regains her memories, she remembers that her father was abusive and tells Jasper that they should stay in Deadland. Despite this, all of their parents combined have approximately a minute of time on stage. Ammut is but one of many mythological characters Jasper meets and only appears in one scene, but her tearing out Jasper's heart to weigh it, and then crushing it out of spite, factors heavily into the climax. | |

Native Guide | |
Jasper in Deadland (Theatre) / int_8bd2ee20 | comment |
Jasper and Gretchen are total opposites. Jasper knows nothing about Deadland (as he didn't know it existed), whereas Gretchen has been there long enough to act as a Native Guide. Jasper is in danger of losing Agnes, his memory, and his life if he can't find Agnes and return to the Living World, whereas Gretchen has already lost her life and her memory, and shows no interest in trying to get them back. Jasper is cynical and pessimistic due to his awful life, whereas Gretchen is cynical and optimistic because she can't even remember her awful life. Jasper refuses to give up on saving Agnes, no matter how many risks he has to take, whereas Gretchen leaves (or almost leaves) Jasper no less than three times. | |

Shout-Out | |
Jasper in Deadland (Theatre) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Act 2 begins with a flashback of Jasper and Agnes talking about Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. When Gretchen first meets Jasper, she sarcastically refers to him as "Eddie Munster". Gretchen compares herself to Lucy from Peanuts at one point. Gretchen is part of Oprah Book Club. Mr Lethe calls Agnes "The Norma Rae of the Underworld". | |

Adventures in Comaland | |
Jasper in Deadland (Theatre) / int_d5f35258 | comment |
Adventures in Comaland: It often seems like Deadland is a physical place, with water that Jasper and Agnes can drink, objects they can touch, clothes they can wear, and monsters that can kill them. However, it is shown at the end that Jasper and Agnes never physically entered Deadland, as their bodies are still wearing their original clothes instead of the clothes they changed into while in Deadland. | |

Lyrical Dissonance | |
Jasper in Deadland (Theatre) / int_dbfd6b8 | comment |
Lyrical Dissonance: The opening number is about Jasper having a Near-Death Experience and temporarily reaching the afterlife, but it sounds more like a cheerful, excited goodbye song. The Killing is an energetic song about how horrible humans are because of the ways they waste their lives. | |

Two-Act Structure | |
Jasper in Deadland (Theatre) / int_de2ee4e8 | comment |
Two-Act Structure: Jasper spends Act One searching for his lost friend Agnes, while struggling to stave off the Ghost Amnesia that affects everyone in Deadland. Eventually, with the help of an Afterlife Tour Guide named Gretchen, they reach the bridge to Elysium, where Jasper unintentionally cures Gretchen's amnesia, causing her to realize that she is Agnes... only for Jasper to finally lose the rest of his memory. Then Act Two begins, and Mr Lethe's minions capture them, trapping Agnes in Mr Lethe's factory while Lethe tries to convince Jasper into returning to the surface alone. | |
