alt title(s): Death Trope
Charles Bronson: "Is this revenge because I killed your father?"
Jan-Michael Vincent: "You killed him? I thought he just died."

Men must endure, their going hence even as their coming hither. Ripeness is all.
—-William Shakespeare

Death is a major event in television. No, now... it is a really big deal. Really. Except when it isn't.

Death Tropes are notable for occasionally having major unmarked, unconcealed spoilers in the examples sections. There is really no way to avoid this; the mere knowledge that the trope applies to a given work is usually a spoiler in itself. Read at your own risk.
