Hi I was just wondering what you meant in your post about women's deaths in bio by fridges
So fridging is a common TV/movie/writing trope where a character is killed for a characterâs development. Itâs called âStuffed in the Fridgeâ or âWomen in Refrigeratorsâ (often shortened to fridging), named after a scene in the Green Lantern comic book where the GL comes home to find his girlfriend murdered and stuffed in the fridge.
More often than not it is a woman that is killed of for the development of the man. Itâs really lazy writing, it makes the woman nothing more than a prop- her life means nothing, she was really just there to motivate the man the entire time.
Examples of this trope in PJO are: the death of Bianca (inspires Nico to run away and seek revenge), Leoâs mother dying, Frankâs mother dying, Nicoâs mother dying (for Hades not for Nico), Percyâs mom dying (later brought back to life), and probably others that I canât think of right now. As you can tell, RR really likes killing moms.Â
