Basic Trope: People start mistreating or neglecting a widowed person once their spouse dies.
- Straight: Alice is treated harshly after her husband dies.
- Exaggerated: Alice has a bounty out on her the second her husband dies.
- Downplayed: Alice is treated worse than she was when her husband was alive, but nothing too harsh.
- Justified: Alice wasn't well liked before she got married. In addition, her husband had a some position of power, so doing anything to harm her would be a very bad move. After her husband died however, people felt free to treat her badly without much consequence.
- Inverted: After her husband dies, Alice is treated better than she did when he was still alive.
