Okay, tweaked the paragraph a little, keeping in mind what has been discussed after my last edit. It now makes it clear that the trope always applies to females only, and that the mother/sister/female friend cases are not so rare.

How is it now?

Seems good to me. I edited the laconic version.

A woman that spurs on a male villain to villainy. Can be a wife, but also a lover, mother or sister.
Feedback is welcome.

Let's just say and leave it at that.

Laconic looks good. So does the write-up now. I made one small tweak in paragraph order.

Is everything done here? I think everyone agreed that it doesn't need a rename. Does anyone want to add redirects? If not, I think the thread is ready for closure.

Let's just say and leave it at that.

I'm curious - is there any reason why this is not The Lady Macbeth, as with most other character-named tropes?

[up] Just cuz that's how it was launched. No other reason, really. But it's not such a big deal that we need to go changing it. *shrug*

Yeah, I think we should be done here.

Rhymes with "Protracted."
