Tears of Remorse/Playing With

Basic Trope: A character, grieved by his own guilt, cries.
 * Straight: Jack realizes he did a lot of harm and cries.
 * Exaggerated: Jack realizes he caused Jill to stub her toe and weeps.
 * Justified: Jack cries because he is genuinely sorry.
 * Inverted: Tom laughs until he cries, remembering his evil deeds.
 * Tears of Joy
 * Subverted: Tom weeps and sobs over his deeds, because he didn't get away with it.
 * Double Subverted: But he admits that he deserves his punishment.
 * Parodied: Sally sobs over having stolen a jelly bean until her pool of tears drowns everyone else -- whereupon she eats the jelly bean.
 * Deconstructed: Jack's tears are stem from a mood he's in, caused by external circumstances that primed him to be sad, and his remorse will dry up as quickly as the tears.
 * Reconstructed: After he gets out of it, Jack realizes how Not So Different he is from his victims, and decides to become a better person anyway.
 * Zig Zagged: Two characters argue about whether Jack is sincere in his tears, or only faking, or...
 * Averted: No one realizes his guilt.
 * No one does anything bad.
 * Enforced: The writers want to show that evil actions provoke grief and regret, possibly in preparation for a Heel Face Turn.
 * Lampshaded: "Ah, his grief is sincere -- as long as those aren't Water Works."
 * Invoked: "You will not believe how much I wept over that, Jack."
 * Defied: Jack refuses to show any remorse or grief whatsoever.
 * Discussed: "He might really be sorry -- look at how he cries."
 * Conversed: ???
