Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': Broken mirrors are used as a sign of insanity.
* '''Straight''': Barbara goes to Alan's house after years of not seeing him, and finds that all of the mirrors in his house are broken. This is because Alan is cursed, and in a fit of WhatHaveIBecome [[RageAgainstTheReflection broke every mirror in his house so he wouldn't have to see himself like this]].

* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': There are no broken mirrors.
* '''Enforced''': "We need to show just how messed up Alan has become after getting cursed, let's add multiple broken mirrors. [[RuleOfSymbolism There's just some symbolism waiting for us in the visceral sight of a broken mirror]]."
