| ahp7x39 | choice | The dim-witted boy Hugo was naïvely unprepared for daily life at the carnival. He misjudged the deceitful Irene because she was beautiful, and likewise the kind-hearted carnival magician Sadini because his goatee made him look like the devil. He didn't understand that stage magic wasn't real, and was delusional about his prospects of Irene becoming his lover. |

| movie: Gigi (1958) | major | Through the first half or so of the story, Gigi is portrayed as an innocent little girl. She sang about how she couldn't understand the Parisians' preoccupation with this thing called "love". |
| movie: Of Mice and Men (1939) | major | Lenny was a dim-witted, gentle giant of a man who didn't know his own immense strength. This combination of child-like naïvely and great strength spelt his undoing. |

| movie: Puzzlehead (2005) | major | The android Puzzlehead started out utterly lacking any common sense (e.g., he failed to recognize a man as a mugger, didn't understand that a woman with slit wrists in a bathtub had just attempted suicide, etc.). |
| movie: The Island (2005) | major | The clone Lincoln Six Echo was conditioned from "birth" to know nothing about the real world, and was woefully unprepared for it once he escaped from the compound where he was meant to spend his entire life. The same can be said for his budding love interest, Jordan Two Delta. |
| rbt1985e3x02 | major | In the end the wondrous mirage came back because two innocent children believed in it. By stark contrast, it vanished before more cynical characters, like Ned. |
