Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Scarlet Pimpernel is a classic action-adventure story written by Baroness Emmuska Orczy and turned into a play in 1903-05. This wildly popular tale is set during The French Revolution, an era when peasants rose up against the aristocracy and began slaughtering them wholesale. (Madame la Guillotine was a very busy woman at this time.) It seemed there would be no hope for the French Nobs, until a dashing hero arrived on the scene to snatch those destined for death from the hands of the bloodthirsty and fanatical Revolutionary government. This hero was a mysterious masked figure known only as The Scarlet Pimpernel (a small flower with five petals), and together with his small band of followers, he managed to spirit many a doomed aristocrat safely to England.But who is this "Scarlet Pimpernel"?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The beautiful expatriate French actress, Marguerite Blakeney, doesn't know. But she's recently discovered that her brother, Armand, is one of his band of followers. Unfortunately, Armand's been revealed to the Revolutionaries. And if Marguerite doesn't help Citizen Chauvelin, the slimy agent of the French Republic, discover the Pimpernel's true identity, Armand will be executed.To whom can Marguerite turn for help? Certainly not her foppish, empty-headed dandy of a husband, Percy. He barely has the brain cells to choose what outrageous outfit he'll wear to their next social function. He surely couldn't be of any use in finding out who the Pimpernel really is.The Scarlet Pimpernel is a notable work of Western literature, which would go on to influence popular culture throughout the generations. It's an early precursor to the Spy Drama genre of fiction, and the Pimpernel himself can be counted as a Proto-Superhero. The book arguably created the modern concept of the Secret Identity. Like Batman (or that other early "superhero", Zorro), the Pimpernel is a wealthy personage who hides behind a foppish face by day and performs dashing and heroic deeds under the cover of darkness. Like Superman, he hides his intellect and intentions behind a mask of clueless ignorance. He also uses an iconic symbol (the Pimpernel flower) to denote his identity. Truly, modern-day movies and comic books owe a lot to this character. Even Anime seems to have been influenced a bit by him, judging by the number of series (like Trigun and Trinity Blood) which feature seemingly dorky — yet secretly competent — heroes who often wear red.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })The Scarlet Pimpernel would go on to spawn a series of sequel books, operettas, musicals, movies and TV adaptations. The third sequel novel, Eldorado, has often been drawn on to spice up adaptations of the original novel, as it has a high-stakes plot in which the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel goes to the aid of a surviving member of the French royal family.The Pink Carnation book series by Lauren Willig features characters who took up where the original Pimpernel left off (i.e. the Carnation, and prior to that, the Purple Gentian). In 1941 the lore was even updated and remade as Pimpernel Smith to be about rescuing Jews from Nazi Germany. | |

Forceful Kiss: When Pierre Adet is introduced in Lord Tony's Wife, he has a legitimate grievance against the Duc de Kernoghan. But to make sure the reader has no sympathy with him, Orczy has him forcefully kiss the Duc's teenage daughter, gloating about how she'll never be able to forget it. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| The Scarlet Pimpernel / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: Baroness Orczy was not particularly interested in presenting an accurate, well-researched portrayal of the French Revolution. One example — the beginning of the first novel is set in September 1792, and it is clearly stated that the Committee of Public Safety is responsible for the executions of the aristocratic class. Except that the Committee wasn't formed until April 1793. Furthermore, while the Revolution had not been free of bloodshed up to that point, the description of hundreds of aristos being beheaded on daily (even hourly) basis was a heavy exaggeration. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| The Scarlet Pimpernel / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: While the author can hardly be accused of being too favourably disposed to the French revolutionaries, there are several passages where the narration does acknowledge that the aristocracy could be needlessly cruel and oppressive. In particular, both Marguerite and her brother Armand are committed (albeit more moderate) Republicans who are nevertheless treated sympathetically, and their backstory involves a nobleman who ordered the low-born Armand viciously beaten after he dared express romantic interest in one of the nobleman's daughters. The point is clear that it's not exactly a mystery why the French lower classes had enough and decided to rebel, even if they took it a bit too far. | |

Master Actor | |
| The Scarlet Pimpernel / int_6bdf39ae | comment |
Master Actor: The Pimpernel impersonates several known French people, authority figures, civil servants and grimy tramps alike. At one point, he reflects that he plays the part of Rateau (a coal-heaver he often impersonates) more convincingly than Rateau himself. | |

Stating the Simple Solution: Chauvelin's Hypercompetent Sidekick Collot d'Herbois wonders why they don't just shoot the Pimpernel in The Elusive Pimpernel. In Lord Tony's Wife, it's Chauvelin who points out to Martin-Roget that it would be simpler to have the de Kernogans quickly executed than put them through an elaborate Fate Worse than Death, followed by death. The longer they're alive, he reasons, the more chance the Pimpernel has to rescue them. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| The Scarlet Pimpernel / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Two in Eldorado. First, Armand accuses Percy of not understanding what it means to love; Percy thoroughly agrees with him (Marguerite, however, doesn't) and spends a good subsequent portion of the novel condemning himself for what he puts his wife through. Later, Percy sends Armand a letter to this effect after his brother-in-law betrays him. | |

Love Makes You Evil: The residents of Laragne attribute "citizen Armand's" sudden change in personality to the death of his wife in childbirth. This is most likely not true, given that the narrator calls his daughter the only person he's ever loved. Devinne in Sir Percy Leads The Band is infatuated with an aristocrat's daughter, and turns traitor in the hope of sending his rival for her to the guillotine. | |

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Chauvelin is repeatedly guilty of this. Prime examples are Eldorado, where he believes his current Sadistic Choice plot has been foiled because he doesn't in the least expect the Scarlet Pimpernel to consider giving his life or honor for the "friend" who betrayed him, and Sir Percy Hits Back, where he thoroughly believes his daughter is doomed because surely the Scarlet Pimpernel wouldn't lift a finger to save his Arch-Enemy's daughter. | |
