Psychopathic Manchild: While not Ax-Crazy, Lucrezia hasn't developed an adult sense of responsibility or human worth, seeing little wrong in drowning an illegitimate child or killing a girl she swore she'd protect.Also occurs offscreen between Lucrezia and the gooseboy. Parental Incest: Implied (but not confirmed) to have happened between Lucrezia and her father.Obfuscating Stupidity: Fra Ludovico survives Lucrezia's wrath exclusively for this.Justified since she's the Lucrezia who started it all. Names to Run Away From Really Fast: Lucrezia.The Magic Goes Away: Magic seems to be on its way out, and the dwarfs realize that they need to adjust quick or they're going with it.Little People Are Surreal: Lucrezia gets a monologue to this effect.Kick the Dog: The Borgias wrote the book.Humanity Ensues: The dwarfs want to become human to adapt to a magic-free world.Hive Mind: The dwarfs seem to have one.Historical Villain Upgrade: Oh, come on.Handsome Lech: Cesare and Lucrezia again.And mercury poisoning didn't help Lucrezia much either. Freudian Excuse: Cesare and Lucrezia didn't have much chance of normalcy from their upbringing.Dying Dream: Lucrezia has a Dying Nightmarish in her final chapter."Double, Double" Title: It's name is because its a revisionist take on the tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.Depraved Bisexual: Cesare boasts of his (offscreen) liasons with both men and women.The mentally-impaired goose-boy is their child.
BrotherSister Incest: The only man Lucrezia truly seems to love is her brother Cesare.Oh, and her reunion with her dying pop is offscreen.
