* In ''[[Nineteen Eighty-Four (Literature)|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 Jackson & the Olympians]]'':
** 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.
** It runs in the family; Percy also reacts this way whenever he is captured or incapacitated. When {{spoiler|Luke|}} corners him, Annabeth and Tyson about the Golden Fleece, Percy honestly says that he doesn't have it {{spoiler|because he gave it to Claire to deliver, since this was her quest in the first place and so she can win her father's approval, and proceeds to do an [[Engineered Public Confession]] that Luke poisoned Thalia's tree, clearing counselor Chiron's name for the deed}}. Later, when Hades as a [[Cruel Mercy]] imprisons Percy {{spoiler|to spare him from the final battle and have his son Nico take Percy's place in the Prophecy, Percy is fighting the whole time and nearly strangles Nico when the latter comes to free him. Nico did betray him to his father, but under the condition that Percy wouldn't be hurt. He also admits he should have known Hades would use [[Exact Words]].}} In the sequel series, when Hera wipes his memories and uses him for a pawn in a new scheme, Percy during a dream tosses her into a river after getting his memories back.
