* BaitAndSwitchSentiment: Alexander tries to convince [[spoiler:Hadassah]] to leave Rome with him, declaring passionate love for her; she responds by admitting she loves him too, and then crushes him by listing all the things she loves about him—in a [[JustFriends completely platonic]] manner.
--> '''Alexander:''' What would you say if I told you I love you? Because I do! [[spoiler:Hadassah]], I love you! Doesn't that make a difference?
--> '''[[spoiler:Hadassah]]:''' I love you too, Alexander…I'll always love you for your kindness to me, for your compassion to countless others, for your hunger to know truth…
--> '''Alexander:''' I wasn't speaking of brotherly love.



* HopelessSuitor: Alexander never has a chance with Hadassah; even when he [[AnguishedDeclarationOfLove confesses his love]], she mistakes it for [[LoveYouAndEverybody platonic affirmation]].
