Main Topic

We did this last time, so we hope you listened to 325, but if you need a refresher, here are some definitions of trope:

  • A trope is a word used in a nonliteral sense to create a powerful image.
  • Shorthand narrative device
  • It was way easier to think about stuff I love than the stuff I hate. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t ever want to see stupid kids in movies again. But I have a whole list of stuff I love.
