* ''Theatre/{{Othello}}'' includes an embroidered handkerchief that becomes central to the plot in the second act. Performances, such as 1995's film version, include the handkerchief earlier in the film as a part of Desdemona's costume. Shakespeare's plays, as written, do not include prop or costuming instructions, so the necessity to include specific props such as this must be inferred by the director.
* How about guns in Chekhov's own plays? In ''Theatre/TheSeagull'', Konstantin Treplyev kills a seagull and brings his rifle on stage. The trope is seemingly {{subverted}} when he attempts to use it to suicide and is not successful, but at the end of the play manages to succeed. In ''Theatre/UncleVanya'' however, the gun with which [[spoiler:Uncle Vanya attempts to kill the professor]] only gets a mention in the stage directions at the beginning of the first act, and the trope is completely averted in ''Theatre/TheCherryOrchard'', where a gun is seen but never fired.
* Used to great effect in Eugene O'Neill's one act play ''Theatre/TheEmperorJones''. In the first scene, the eponymous self-proclaimed Emperor explains to another character how he managed to convince all of his subjects that only bullets made of pure silver could hurt him. To demonstrate his arrogance and overconfidence, he pulls out his gun and shows the other character an actual SilverBullet he commissioned himself which he keeps inside the gun's bullet chamber at all times as a final resort in case the vengeful natives finally catch up with him. Naturally, the silver bullet is used towards the end of the play, but in an ironic twist, the actual bullet itself is used to 'kill' a terrifying hallucination dredged up by the Emperor's own mind. In the play's final scene, the report of the gun has given away his position to the vengeful natives, who, upon locating their hated despot in the middle of a dark jungle, riddle the Emperor full of homemade silver bullets.
* Used in Beaumarchais's ''Theatre/TheMarriageOfFigaro'': Marcellina makes a throwaway comment in Act I regarding her long-lost son--who is naturally revealed later to be Figaro, conveniently removing his obligation to marry her.
