* TheFlorenceNightingaleEffect: How she falls in love with David. She finds him handsome and "sad." There's also hints that David being a werewolf may be inspiring [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys those types of feelings also]], if subconciously.

* NiceGuy: They are both ''very'' friendly and cheerful individuals, even in undeath; unlike the other victims, who are all understandably very angry at David for killing them as a werewolf, they display absolutely ''zero'' ill-will and act pleasant toward him. Even when they offer David suggestions on how to commit suicide, there's clearly no actual malice in it.

* AfterlifeAngst: As a ghost, Jack claims that he's [[InsistentTerminology undead]] and forced to roam the Earth until David dies to break the werewolf's curse. He hates being undead and finds conversing with other undead people "boring". On a more serious note, it definitely isn't fun looking at your own appearance getting progressively more rotting and being [[AndIMustScream unable to converse with your grieving family and other friends.]]

* DeadpanSnarker: Jack is without a doubt the most irreverent character in the movie. Even as a tormented ghost that is only halfway through the afterlife he merely complains that he "isn't having a lot of fun at all".
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In spite of his snarky attitude and banter he has with David, Jack still has sympathy for his friend's situation and stands up to Ted's ghost wishing David to choke to death when they discuss methods of suicide, and he claims that at his own funeral in New York a lot of people come to mourn his death.
