* TheOwlKnowingOne: {{Invoked}} in ''Le Château de ma mère''. When hunting, a teenager Marcel witnesses a owl trying to escape from a trap, and doesn't feel the bird is particularly intelligent. The narration then digresses to mention he later heard in a school lesson that owls symbolise wisdom, and this sentence combined with the memory of his actual encounter with the owl makes him unable to stop laughing.
