Line 5:
The [[Morality Chain]] is a character who is the reason another character is Good. Stereotypically a female love interest or a [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas|mother]]; as long as this person is alive; her [[Love Redeems|target of affection]] will at the very least be a [[Noble Demon]].
 
If a Morality Chain were to [[Fallen Hero]], [[Et Tu, Brute?|commit betrayal]], or get seriously hurt or [[Dead Little Sister|die]], there is ''[[Interrupted Cooldown Hug|nothing]]'' to prevent a [[Face Heel Turn]] happening so fast and so hard that the unchained character is gladly chopping his former teammates in pieces before you can say "[[Neutral Evil]]". This is more than the [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]; ''everyone'' has to suffer.
 
The Morality Chain is basically the ''only'' thing preventing someone from happily killing their "[[Token Evil Teammate|friends]]" and [[Cain and Abel|family.]] One wonders whether such a form of "goodness" has much value in it (aside from, well, ''keeping them from killing their [[True Companions|friends]] and [[Thicker Than Water|family]]'').
