The denouement of Uriah Heep in David Copperfield and Macbeth in the play of that name.

Explanation:

Towards the end of the novel, Wilkins Micawber exposes Heep for the fraudulent and corrupt way he has exploited Mr Wickfield's alcoholism to become a partner.

Another would be in Macbeth when Macduff tells Macbeth how he was born thus confirming the witches prophecy and sealing Macbeth's fate.
