Guards! Guards!: Difference between revisions

* [[Myopic Architecture]]: Vetinari is revealed to have done this on purpose: while the lock to the palace dungeon is on the outside, the locking mechanisms are on the inside. Would-be usurpers throw him in the dungeon expecting it to serve as an [[Oubliette]]; instead, it's an impregnable fortress that he can "escape" at his leisure.

* [[Naive Newcomer]]: Carrott, though he's not really an audience surrogate because, at least if the readers have read the previous books, they already know most of the stuff about Ankh-Morpork he writes home about.

* [[No Name Given]]: The [[Big Bad]]'s stand-in "king" is never named. Lampshaded when a minor character assumes his name is "Rex Vivat" ("Long Live the King") because he keeps seeing the phrase on banners.

* [[Nonsense Classification]]: The four food groups: sugar, starch, grease, and burnt crunchy bits.
