Instead, the characters get exactly what they deserve, even if they're a murderer or just plain nasty. Deconstructed Trope: Of happy endings, for the monster's stories as well as for Conor's own.Dark Is Not Evil: The monster is a hulking massive thing made from a yew tree with a growling voice but he's only there to help Conor move on and heal him from seeing his mother slowly die.Cruel Mercy: Combined with Un-person, this is what Harry eventually does to Conor.Creative Closing Credits: The opening credits show the actors' names in a sequence of beautifully animated watercolor paintings.Part of what the Monster is ultimately trying to teach Conor is that it's OK to want to stop hurting so much, despite the only way it can do so, and it doesn't mean he doesn't love his mother or really wants her to be gone. But the end of that pain will only come with her death, which he doesn't really want. Specifically, Conor unconsciously wants his mother to die, because watching her die slowly is so painful to him, and he wants that pain (and hers) to end. Coming of Age Story: Despite the fantastical themes, the story is ultimately about the brooding and cynical Conor coming to terms with not only the inevitability of his mother's death, but his guilt over his feelings about it.Catapult Nightmare: After the Dream Intro, Conor startles in his bed.Byronic Hero: Conor, at least until he can accept the fact that his mother's going to die.The Bully: Harry, complete with cronies.But Conor, with the Monster's help, has managed to come to terms with it, in as much as a boy his age can. Bittersweet Ending: It's inevitable Conor's mother is going to die.However the prince did also rule justly and happily for many years despite being a murderer and the queen was saved by the monster to live out her life far away because she had not murdered the princes girlfriend and may or may not have been on her way to great evil with Monster telling Conner that both are not morally black and white. The Bad Guy Wins: played with, In-universe, the beloved prince murders his girlfriend to stir a riot from the people, framing his stepmother queen, for the murder, and successfully overthrows her.Badass Boast: When the Monster describes his true nature.Awful Truth: What the Monster wants and what Conor fears the most.He's a monster, but he's there to help Conor. Ambiguously Gay: Harry's bullying of Conor seems to have some hints of homosexual advancements.However, the stories do encourage Conor to reflect on the nature of morality and selfishness, they pose questions more than giving answers. An Aesop: Subverted, the monster mocks Conor for thinking he would go through the trouble of walking again just to teach him a lesson about being nice.
Adapted Out: Lily does not appear in the movie, or at least she still appears as an extremely minor character.
However, some additional scenes were filmed exclusively for the movie, including one that is set right after where the book ends.
