* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: Watching Viola take and take from Perdita (first all the attention, then the man Perdita was beginning to be attracted to, then full ownership of the manor and finances) followed up by physically abusing her sister for years (out of jealousy and fear that Perdita was "stealing" Arthur -- she wasn't) is painful to watch... Perdita finally snapping and killing Viola while thinking "enough" can be somewhat cathartic for anyone who has ever been abused for years]].

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In [[Literature/TheRomanceOfCertainOldClothes the original short story]], the Willoughby sisters are simply caught in a love triangle with a handsome family friend, each jealous of his affection for the other, with a living mother and brother to handle the family's affairs. Here, they are orphans living in an era when women could not legally do many of the tasks required to manage a sizable manor, fighting to maintain control over their own property and their own lives, who find themselves in a deadly tuberculosis-induced rivalry just when it looks like they've finally secured their futures and happiness.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Just barely. In the original story, Viola (named Perdita; the sisters' names were reversed for the series) leaves her clothes to her daughter to keep them out of her sister's hands after her death, knowing it's the one part of her life she might be able to keep her sister from seizing from her. Here, the dresses and jewelry were genuinely extremely precious to Viola, and she leaves them to Isobel because she wanted her daughter to have the objects she had dearly loved.
** It's also shown that the sisters were very close and had a loving relationship before Viola's illness and descent into paranoia; in the original story, the two girls had a bitter and intense rivalry.

* MeaningfulName: The Storyteller says that Perdita was named in memory of an older sister who had died in infancy, but doesn't explain why. "Perdita" is Latin for "lost."
Added DiffLines:
** It may not have been entirely her fault. Perdita's [[spoiler: gravestone reveals that she died in 1686, shortly after the accession of James II and right in the middle of a series of attempted fiscal reforms that severely weakened England's domestic economy. Lots of wealthy gentry families were struggling in that time, not just the Lloyds.]]

* RapeLeadsToInsanity: [[spoiler:It's heavily implied that his father sexually abused him and left him with psychological scars...which he then takes out on Rebecca, Dani, Miles, and Flora. Though it's downplayed when he realizes that his worst memory isn't his father's abuse but rather a memory from years later of his mother blackmailing him into embezzeling his employer, due to the fact that as an adult he realized she knew what her husband was doing to him and did ''nothing'' to stop him. That's what truly broke him.]]

* NoSparks: It's made painfully obvious in flashbacks that Dani had a case of this towards her fiancé, Edmund. She does care for him as her best and oldest friend, but throughout all the wedding planning she looks awkward and uncomfortable, especially when Edmund tells the story of his proposal to her. Even he starts to pick up on the fact something's not right. [[spoiler: Dani looks a great deal more enthusiastic about her seamstress putting her hands on her waist during a dress fitting, which is a big hint as to why she doesn't feel romantic attraction towards Edmund.]]
