Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process
Added DiffLines:
* UncannyValley: Arsene. At the start, she's an incredibly beautiful and graceful dancer. But when Hoffman finds her alone -- after he's gotten word that she was executed -- she moves in a strange way, like a puppet, and speaks in a flat, emotionless voice. She also doesn't react when a burning hot coal touches her foot, won't eat, and when she drinks a little champagne, the champagne trickles out from underneath her velvet necklace. It turns out, [[spoiler: she was DeadAllAlong and somehow reanimated -- [[AllJustADream or may have been an insane hallucination from the start]].]]

Changed line(s) 22 (click to see context) from:
* EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench: Although the very sexy Arsène is French, the narrator does not say she is desirable because she is French. Instead, Hoffmann's fiancée, Antonia, is half-German and half-Italian (the two races which Dumas says compete for the title of most beautiful), and explicitly owes her attractiveness to her heritage.

* RuleOfSymbolism: Loads and loads of symbolism. Hoffman first sees Antonia as she is coming out of church, her head modestly bowed. Her mother died in an opera of ''[[ClassicalMythology Alcèste]],'' a story about the most loving and self-sacrificing wife in history. Then, he first sees Arsène as she plays the spirit of "Spring" (like the Springtime of the French republic), and later Arsène dresses as a Maenad. His last encounter with Arsène, he finds her sitting at the feet of the guillotine, alone, at night, in the Revolution Square.
