An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Sometimes characters have every reason to be angry, but they try to hold it back for various reasons. Sometimes the reasons are selfish; sometimes they are because they know it would be wrong to get angry or that blowing their top would have bad consequences (such as losing their job or getting killed); and sometimes the reason is just for the sake of appearances. A Sub-Trope of You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry. A Super-Trope to Rant-Inducing Slight (in that the trigger is very minor). Contrast Hair-Trigger Temper, The Stoic. Examples:

  • Sometimes characters have every reason to be angry, but they try to hold it back for various reasons. Sometimes the reasons are selfish; sometimes they are because they know it would be wrong to get angry or that blowing their top would have bad consequences (such as losing their job or getting killed); and sometimes the reason is just for the sake of appearances. Eventually there will be a last straw. It could range from a minor thing, to out-and-out hitting the character's Berserk Button. But now the flood of anger comes pouring out like water from a burst dam. It usually involves Unstoppable Rage, but in some cases it can even be Tranquil Fury. Some stories might even have this trigger a Heroic Second Wind. Also, if the berserk button is hit, this character might even be twice as berserk as usual. A Sub-Trope of You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry. A Super-Trope to Rant-Inducing Slight (in that the trigger is very minor). Compare Trying Not to Cry, Teach Him Anger, Break the Cutie, Not So Stoic, Beware the Nice Ones, Sudden Principled Stand (principle is handled similarly), and Moment of Weakness (which the Rage Breaking Point can provoke).
