Answer and Explanation: A trope is a use of figurative language for artistic effect. Specifically in cinema, it is a connection between denotation and connotation. Irony and metaphor are both good examples of tropes.
Webster's Dictionary defines a trope as, “a figurative or metaphorical use of a word or expression.” In drama, trope has a more pejorative meaning: cliché. Movies and television shows are rife with tropes.
Heroic Spirit: Heroes can do anything they're capable of if they have enough spirit. Hunter of Monsters: Someone who fights and slays dangerous supernatural creatures to protect other people. Index to the Rescue: Characters who come to rescue others from certain dangers and save many lives.
In cinema, a trope is what The Art Direction Handbook for Film defines as a universally identified image imbued with several layers of contextual meaning creating a new visual metaphor. A Mexican standoff is a common film trope. A common thematic trope is the rise and fall of a mobster in a classic gangster film.
A trope is a word used in a nonliteral sense to create a powerful image. If you say, Chicago's worker bees buzz around the streets, you're using a trope. Workers aren't literally bees, but it suggests how fast they move. Trope refers to different types of figures of speech, such as puns, metaphors, and similes.
