1 | '''Basic Trope''': Something is desirable ''because'' it is not allowed. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Alice tells Bob not to open a specific door. Bob is overtaken by the desire to open it. Turns out the door was holding a SealedEvilInACan and Bob opening the door [[NiceJobBreakingItHero released it]]. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': Alice puts Bob in a room, tells him he must never leave it, and then leaves the door unlocked. Him leaving the room brings forth TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': ??? |
5 | * '''Justified''': |
6 | ** People naturally want freedom. When Bob was forbidden from opening the door, his instinctual desire was to regain the "right" he was denied. |
7 | ** TheMasquerade is in effect and Bob doesn't know about the existence of the supernatural. He wouldn't have believed Alice if she told him what was behind the door. |
8 | * '''Inverted''': Alice encourages Bob to open a door. But he refuses, fearing that there is a monster behind the door. |
9 | * '''Subverted''': Alice tells Bob that he must not open a specific door. Bob asks her why that is, and she explains that it holds a SealedEvilInACan. This satisfies Bob and quells his curiosity. |
10 | * '''Double Subverted''': Bob starts to doubt if Alice's claims are real. |
11 | * '''Parodied''': The door is covered in signs that say "Trust me! You really don't want to open that door! [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial There isn't any good stuff in there!]] I promise, you won't like it!" |
12 | * '''Zig-Zagged''': ??? |
13 | * '''Averted''': Alice asks Bob not to open the door. Bob accepts this. |
14 | * '''Enforced''': "We need to give the kids AnAesop about how listening to authority is important, even if it doesn't always make sense." |
15 | * '''Lampshaded''': ??? |
16 | * '''Invoked''': |
17 | ** The door doesn't have anything dangerous behind it; only a device that will alert Alice if it is opened. Alice set up the door as a SecretTestOfCharacter to see if Bob is trustworthy. |
18 | ** Alice has become too corrupt to open that door, so she uses reverse psychology to get Bob to do it, [[MetaphoricallyTrue while technically being blameless herself]]. |
19 | * '''Exploited''': Alice is secretly a servant of the SealedEvilInACan that is unable to open the door herself, so she instead tempts Bob into opening it by forbidding him without good reason. |
20 | * '''Defied''': ??? |
21 | * '''Discussed''': ??? |
22 | * '''Conversed''': ??? |
