* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Tucker the butler probably didn't deserve to be framed for murder, but it's hard to feel too bad for him considering what a cowardly weasel he is, not to mention his [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing reaction]] to the murder he's framed for.]]



* TheButlerDidIt: Tucker is framed for this to keep Jack out of prison after he murders a lover.

to:

* TheButlerDidIt: Tucker [[spoiler:Tucker is framed for this to keep Jack out of prison after he murders a lover.]]



* GodIsGood: Jack subscribes fully to the idea that God is Love, and preaches kindness, compassion, and tolerance everywhere he goes as part of his insistence that he is Jesus. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, Herder subjects him to MindRape built around brainwashing him that GodIsEvil in order to "cure" him. Needless to say, it doesn't end well.]]



* HeManWomanHater: [[spoiler:What Jack becomes after switching to his Jack the Ripper persona, developing a pathological and puritanical hatred of women and especially sexual women.]]



* HollywoodAtheist: Herder is one of the most horrific examples put to screen. His PsychoPsychologist behavior is motivated more by hateful spite that Jack believes in a benevolent God then anything.



* NapoleonDelusion: Jack, the 14th Earl of Gurney, is convinced that he is Jesus Christ.

to:

* NapoleonDelusion: Jack, the 14th Earl of Gurney, is convinced that he is Jesus Christ. [[spoiler:Then, after his "treatment", he is convinced that he is Jack the Ripper.]]



* PsychoPsychologist: Dr. Herder.

to:

* PsychoPsychologist: Dr. Herder. After a point, it becomes clear that he cares less about curing Jack and more about hatefully breaking the man's spirit and destroying his faith in God out of petty spite over the fact that Jack dares to believe in a benevolent, loving God.


Added DiffLines:

* StrawNihilist: Dr. Herder. He beats his hopelessly pessimistic and cynical view of the world as a horrid place of evil that no God of love could have made into Jack. [[spoiler:And lives to regret it.]]
