Line 83:
* At the end of Madeline L'Engle's novel ''[[A Wrinkle in Time]]'', Meg Murray's brother Charles Wallace has been converted to evil by the being called IT. She frees him by concentrating on and expressing her love for him.
** She PONDERED doing it to 'IT'... but she found that impossible.
* ''[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (novel)|How the Grinch Stole Christmas]]''. Not intentionally done by the citizens of Whoville, but probably the definitive example of this trope.
* Something like this happens to {{spoiler|Wendy Nogard}} in ''[[Wayside School]] Gets A Little Stranger'' when she tries to use her evil telepathic powers on Mrs. Jewls' baby: {{spoiler|"Babies don't think in words. Miss Nogard heard pure love. And trust. And faith. With no words to get in the way. It was a love so strong that it dissolved away all the bitterness that had been caked around her heart."}}
* Happened in the conclusion of ''The Witch Returns''. The villain is finally defeated when the entire family of the protagonists gathers in a circle around her and assaults her -- with acceptance and general goodness. All her evil power fades away, leaving only a kitten, which apparently symbolizes the bit of goodness that was left in her heart.
