* StoicWoobie: Without a doubt, '''Death''' is the best person for his job, but it clearly takes its toll on him at times, most obviously when [[spoiler:he has to collect the souls of his apprentice Mort and daughter Ysabell, at the end of their lifespans]].

** When ''Vetinari'' has trouble reading your motives, says things like, "You drive a hard bargain, Captain," and you reply, "I wasn’t aware I was driving a bargain at all, sir," ''and live'' you ''have'' to be TheChessmaster, albeit probably a benevolent one.

** All the stuff that the Death of Rats gets up to. For example, in ''Literature/SoulMusic'', it manages to completely humiliate Mr. Clete, who had been an annoying thorn in the side of Imp y Celyn's band for the whole book, by [[spoiler:coming for his soul after he dies. And then it ''mocks his [[AnnoyingLaugh laugh]].'']]

* SeasonalRot: The last few books are regarded as being a bit weaker, particularly after ''Literature/UnseenAcademicals'' (though some think the rot may have started earlier) for their muddled stories and more abundant {{Author Tract}}s. While the series covering real world issues under a fantasy veneer was hardly new, it had previously done so gracefully, effectively, and in concert with a very good story. After the rot set in, it became much more ham-handed, and usually at the cost of plot. Given that Creator/TerryPratchett was suffering from Alzheimer's at the time, this is understandable.
