Welcome back to another episode of Turn-a-trope Tuesday, where we take a standard trope and attempt to tell a story that turns it on its head! What does that mean exactly? I think I’ve explained this enough by now, people! C’mon! ;)
So, last week was a skip week, but that gave us a little extra time for a tough trope to crack – “A Man is Not A Virgin.” We had two entries, though, so let’s check them out and see how they handled such a challenging trope!
A Boy or a Man, at Helen’s Ramblings on This Thing Called Life
The Measure of a Man, at Woegman’s World of Witty Wonder
For this week’s trope, we’re hitting up a classic: Opposites Attract Revenge
From TVTropes.org:
A type of Love Triangle — heavy on the triangle, light on the love. When a girlfriend leaves her boyfriend, and ends up in a relationship with the boyfriend’s ideological rival, resulting in a vendetta between the two men.
It works with the genders switched around, too.
As usual, you have 1000 words to turn this trope on its head. Have fun! :)
