Default Inspiring moments in fiction

I wasn't sure if this should go in Personal Effectiveness or Fun and Recreation, but I think it'd be fun to share some of the most inspiring moments/images we've seen in fiction.

Spoilers will follow, of course.

One event that really inspired me was in the game Baten Kaitos 2. The main character Sagi is cursed; he has a piece of a demon god inside of him that often talks to him and tries to control him (the god is actually your character). However, the god also grants him incredible power. Meanwhile the kingdom is hunting down and capturing/killing people like Sagi who have pieces of a demon inside them, they are called godlings.

About 30 hours into the game Sagi is finally caught and imprisoned in chains strong enough to hold back the strongest monsters-none of the other godlings have even been able to move, and Sagi is no exception. While trapped, he has a conversation with the demon god and finally accepts it as a part of him. Fully integrated, Sagi snaps off the chains as if they were nothing. There's no struggle, it's more like taking off a pair of gloves than breaking through a giant barrier.

What are some of your favorite fictional moments?
