Yeah this can indeed pack a big punch.

Some books come immediately to mind which don't quite do this but which do something very similar, which has the same emotional punch:- namely, a chapter very late on has the title of one of the main characters. This works because you've been waiting for them to have their own chapter, and since they are so important, it's a really climactic thing.

Two examples that came to mind were:

>Catch-22
All the chapters are named after characters, and it's only right near the end we get the chapter "Yossarian"

>Watership Down
At the climax we get the chapter "Hazel-Rah" where Hazel's leadership is finally proved.
