7	----
8	!!Tropes:
9
10	* AbhorrentAdmirer: Ironically, Olga, Tonico's own wife, is that to him. Tonico is disgusted with his wife, who has gained a lot due to various pregnancies over the years. Unfortunately for Tonico, Olga is also a sex addict and tries to go to bed with her husband every night.
11	* AllWomenAreLustful: As you can expect from a telenovela written for Walcyr Carrasco, all the female characters often think about sex (or miss the time when they had sex).
12	* AmusingInjuries: Every night, Olga has sex with Tonico, jumping on him, breaking the bed and smashing him. Despite the screams of pain, Tonico never seems to get seriously hurt.
13	* AwfulWeddedLife: Oh, boy... Just to name the main examples: Olga and Tonico, Jesuíno and Dona Sinhazinha.
14	* BerserkButton:
15	** The city colonels simply hate the mere possibility of being betrayed by their wives.
16	** Dorotéia hates any sin committed by the people around her.
17	* BettyAndVeronica: In this case, one woman and two men. Malvina is Archie, Teacher Josué is Betty and Mundinho is Veronica.
18	* BrainBleach: When Olga tells Tonico that she will be naked before him, Tonico simply mutters in horror, "Mother"...
19	* ButtMonkey: Almost everyone: Gabriela, Nacib, Malvina, Teacher Josué, Tonico, Olga, Dona Sinhazinha, etc.
20	* ChubbyChaser: Averted. Olga seems to believe her husband Tonico is that. He is definitely not.
21	* DestructoNookie: Olga and Tonico always break the bed when they have sex, to his pain.
22	* TheDogBitesBack: After discovering that she was being betrayed by Tonico with another woman, she beats him brutally in front of the entire city and begins to betray him with another man.
23	* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Upon discovering that Tonico was cheating on her with Gabriela, Olga beats her husband with a strap. All the other characters just laugh and no one dares to interfere.
24	* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: It is quite obvious that Olga forces Tonico to have sex with her against his will, locking the door of their room and using her enormous physical strength to throw him on the bed and jump on him, breaking the bed and making him scream in pain.
25	* TheDreaded: Dorotéia.
26	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Some time after murdering his wife and her lover, Colonel Jesuíno hugs one of her clothes and begins to cry.
27	* ExtremeDoormat: Teacher Josué.
28	* FatComicRelief: Olga.
29	* MsFanservice: My God, where to start? It is easier to say that with the exception of Olga and the elderly female characters, all the other young female characters have endless scenes wearing only lingerie or even naked.
30	* StoutStrength: Olga is fat and infinitely stronger than her thin husband Tonico. She crushes the bed (and her husband) when she jumps up, and she also hits him constantly after finding out that she was being betrayed by him.
