* ''[[The Count of Monte Cristo (novel)|The Count of Monte Cristo]]'' zigzags this with Edmond Dantes when he is framed for treason and sentenced to life in prison in Chateau d'Ilf, the French equivalent of [[The Alcatraz]]. He maintains his innocence, but becomes hardened as the years pass. A [[Cool Old Guy]] prisoner who's dying helps lead Edmond to a great treasure, piece together who framed him, and crafts a plan of escape. When Edmond becomes the Count with the treasure, however, he cannot forget his trauma, and does not feel his enemies deserve forgiveness. He uses his wealth to ruin Danglars, Villefort, and Fernand. Danglars ends up anything but this trope, begging for his life, when the Count pays bandits to kidnap him and make him pay for food, planning for him to starve. {{spoiler|The Count changes the plan to merely bankrupting him and leaving him with 50,000 francs to start anew somewhere}}. |

* In ''[[Nineteen Eighty-Four]]'', this is a plot point. The Party members arrested are always docile, quiet, and generally compliant with authority, but the proles, who are not required to be indoctrinated into Ingsoc, they make a point to be rebellious, and to some extent, this is even tolerated by the guards. |

** Percy's mother acts like this when Hades takes her hostage, mistakenly believing that Percy stole his helm. She tells her son not to worry about her. To his credit, Hades is revealed to be a [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]; when Percy proves he was framed by Ares {{spoiler|and Luke}} while returning the helm, Hades returns her to the mortal world unharmed. |
