This is why I think TV Tropes should not include real people or events. The concept of a trope only makes sense in fiction. Writers use tropes, reality doesn't. It's reasonable to talk about tropes in the representation of Robespierre; it is not reasonable to talk about tropes that the historical Robespierre supposedly fits. If TV Tropes would stick to fiction, I would like it a lot more.
