* EsotericHappyEnding: Leontes reunites with his wife and daughter and is forgiven by them for his crimes against them, but Mamillius remains dead and buried. This means Hermione will never be reunited with her beloved little boy and Perdita will always have to live with the fact that she had a big brother that she'll never get to meet. And it's all due to Leontes' insane stupidity.
* MemeticMutation: "Exit, pursued by a bear."[[labelnote:Explanation]]The stage direction for Antigonus' death, in which he is abruptly mauled by a bear in Bohemia. The direction stood out for both its DeusExMachina nature (as the bear is never hinted at and is only present for that one moment before exiting the plot completely) and the inherent absurdity of the phrase. Consequently, it became a popular subject for parody, to the point where it named [[ExitPursuedByABear a trope]].[[/labelnote]]

* WhyWouldAnyoneTakeHimBack: After everything that Leontes put her through, why does Hermione get back together with him at the end of the play? (And plus there will always be the fact that Mamillius is dead because of his father's actions, and unlike his mother, won't be coming back...)
