!!''Love Letters'' demonstrates the following tropes:
*AlcoholInducedIdiocy: Allen never drinks but a party he decides to do so. Hours later he’s very drunk and telling his life’s story especially the one about Victoria. This wakens the interest of Dilly because she, of course, knows the whole story.
*AmnesiacLover: Singleton.
*AssholeVictim: Morland gets the knife in the back ([[spoiler: from Aunt Beatrice]]) like he deserved.
*EasyAmnesia: A traumatic event is all that is needed to give Singleton a serious case of amnesia.
*IdentityAmnesia: Victoria, due to the traumatic murder of Morland, forgets that she’s Victoria and takes on the name Singleton.
*IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Singleton decides that she wants to find Victoria Morland because she knows Allen is still in love with her, not yet realizing that they are one and the same person.
*{{Jerkass}}: Morland, oh, Morland. Not only does he marry Singleton without telling her the truth about the letters, he tells her in a horrible way, then proceeds to burn them.
*LoveLetter: Morland “writes” several to Victoria, but it’s really Allen who’s pouring his heart out to her. She, in turn, loved those letters very much:
--> '''Singleton''': I think very few people are happy. They wait all their lives for something to happen to them - something great and wonderful. They don't know what it is but they wait for it. Sometimes it never happens. What they want is the kind of spirit I found in those letters. A spirit that makes life beautiful. I love that man. I loved him more than my own life. I still love him.
