* TheWoobie: Desdemona. Her parents are killed, her village is burned, she narrowly survives the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_fire_of_Smyrna great fire of Smyrna]], and she spends most of her adult life in a country where she feels horribly out of place, wracked with guilt over her [[BrotherSisterIncest marriage]]. It's no surprise that after Lefty's death, she becomes so crippled by despair that she spends the rest of her life in bed.

* SlowPacedBeginning: The first half of the book that recounts Desdemona, Lefty and their children's lives can feel like this. This is because Cal is not technically not the main character; the gene that affects his life is.

Given how sympathetically Cal was written this was almost certainly not Eugenide's intention.
