The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope?

(4 Score & 7 Years Ago)
I am looking for a trope about echo as a storytelling pattern. Many works feature very similar start and end. For example, same person sitting beside a tree, but things happened and he is deeply changed. Or this guy woke up and went to work, but he is a different man. Or a film starts someone building a thing, finally he died in it.
When doing good, it has a very sublime feeling.
I am thinking about a big pattern in story at macro level, not repeating stuff in mere conversation (micro level).
Please help, thanks! I love this site.
