* AilmentInducedCruelty: Will's quite the jerk to Louisa and his parents because of his bitterness about his condition, and his ex-girlfriend sadly tells her, "I tried for ''months''. He just pushed me away, didn't want me here. . .", indicating that he was one to her too.

* AbandonTheDisabled: While it initially seems that this was the case with Will's ex and his best friend, given their awkward visit and them apologizing for not having done so in a long time, it turns out that this trope was inverted--it was Will who pushed ''her'' away despite her best efforts and he presumably did the same to his friend. Fearing that Lou herself will eventually invoke this trope results in him doing the same to her.

* SugarAndIcePersonality: Camilla Traynor, in classic British StiffUpperLip form. It becomes apparent during the overheard conversation that tells about Will's membership at Dignitas and when we see her desk faces a collage of press cuttings and photos of Will, that she's closer to MamaBear in outlook. Her breakdown at Louisa's revelation that the trip to the Caribbean [[spoiler: failed to change Will's mind about suicide]] shows just how thin the IceQueen front really is, and it is ''devastating'' to see.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Will's ex mentions that he relentlessly pushed her away despite her efforts to be there for him, presumably not wanting her to eventually pity and resent him. This is exactly what he does to Lou towards the end of the movie.
* LoveAtFirstSight: While this is hardly his reaction, Will's posthumous letter to Lou tells her she was "imprinted on his heart" the minute she walked in.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: when Bernard asks Will if he knew the person that asset-stripped the firm that owned the local factory before shutting it down, devastating the local economy, Will is forced to admit to a room full of people affected that in fact, he trained the person in question. In tandem with his actions in the IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy entry above, partially explains his MustMakeAmends leap of faith in Lou's dad later in the film.

* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Played with. At first it seems like Louisa is the Manic Pixie who has come to change Will's life, and he does enjoy his time with her and falls in love with her... But ultimately ''Louisa'' is the one who changes because she met him. Additionally, the MPDG is rarely the MainCharacter, which Lou unquestionably is.
