Basic Trope: The world's majesty is put on full display.

  • Straight: Xavier comes across a quiet forest glen and enjoys it for its beauty and quietude.
  • Exaggerated: Xavier spends hours blubbering on the forest floor.
  • Downplayed: Xavier spends some quality time in a nice but otherwise unimpressive city park.
  • Justified: Xavier's life in the big city hasn't been too awe-inspiring, and the forest is new to him.
  • Inverted: Xavier's good mood is spoiled by the sight of a vulture pecking at a corpse on the side of the road.
  • Subverted: The forest is beautiful, but that doesn't mean diddley-squat to Xavier. He passes it by without a second glance.
  • Parodied: Spending time in the woods turns Xavier from a suit-wearing office drone to a granola-munching hippie.
  • Zig Zagged: The woods are lovely, but also dark, and rather deep. Xavier gets lost and almost dies before a rescue party finds him. He swears off nature hikes, but manages to find similar, less life-threatening beauty at a local beach.
  • Averted: Xavier's life is a nonstop parade of ugliness and depravity.
  • Enforced: Xavier's not too thrilled by being in the forest, but compared to the rest of his life it's heaven and he'll milk it for all it's worth.
  • Lampshaded: "How did I manage to miss this place?"
  • Invoked: While trapped in prison, Xavier tries to cheer himself up by dreaming up pictures of the woods.
  • Exploited: Yancy uses the woods to distract Xavier from his job, which is guarding the woods from poachers like him.
  • Defied: Xavier never gets so much as a glimpse of the beauty in life, because he never survived being born in the first place.
  • Discussed: Xavier writes poetry discussing beauty, using the woods as metaphor.
  • Conversed: "Ever notice Xavier's been spending a lot of time hiking?"
  • Implied: The normally sardonic and caustic Xavier finally shuts up when he sees the woods for the first time.
  • Deconstructed: The existence of such beauty only serves to depress Xavier further; it'll be destroyed anyway, so why enjoy it?
  • Reconstructed: The fact that the forest won't last means nothing to Xavier; all that matters is he was here to enjoy it. The impermanence of the world's beauty makes it urgent that he enjoy it while he can.
