Just an extension of Unreliable Narrator, lampshaded
We can never truly eradicate the coronavirus, but we can suppress its threat like influenza
An Unreliable Narrator will depict themselves and other people through a lens heavily distorted by their own perceptions and intentions—hence why they're "unreliable." Thus, many things the Unreliable Narrator make you believe about them are not true. Do we have a trope for when another character says something within a work that reveals something about the true nature of an Unreliable Narrator?
An example of this would be an Unreliable Narrator painting themselves as a calm, composed person—but then a character states offhandedly in the work that the aforementioned character is a Nervous Wreck.
