I've noticed some similarities to other stories.
In Serenity when Mal goes to visit Inara at the Training House, he says "Yes I've read a poem, try not to faint". I think this poem is more than just about River being like the albatross and stuff. In the poem the mariner's ship gets stuck in the middle of the ocean and he can't go anywhere. I think that is what Mal is most scared of: being unable to fly and be free.
In Les Miserables, there's a character called Javert, who reminds me of the Operative. There's a song in les Mis called "Stars" which starts out "There/out in the darkness/a fugitive running/fallen from grace". Now whenever I hear it I can picture clips from Serenity in it.
After Javert fails in his quest to bring Valjean back to jail, he realizes that all he has believed in (his main goal in life was to find Valjean and bring him back to jail) is wrong. So then Javert stops working for the police then commits suicide by jumping off a bridge.
