I was reading モンスター while learning verbs and read this:

> 「君は院長のために、あのオペを絶対に成功させなきゃならなかったし、期待にこたえて見事成功させ **てのけた。** 」

On Jisho it says that のける can be used as an auxiliary verb behind a て form
meaning 'to do well despite difficulties'. I have never seen this before.
Could someone please provide me with example sentences and explain the grammar
behind this?

question
grammar usage verbs
のける after て form
Grammatically, it's a [subsidiary
verb](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/18965/5010). Semantically, 明鏡国語辞典
defines this as follows:

> ### のける
>
>
> 《動詞連用形＋接続助詞「て」について》やりにくいことを平気で、またみごとにしてしまう意を表す。「外聞の悪いことを平然と言って―」「たった一晩で修復工事をやって―」

デジタル大辞泉's definition is almost the same:

>
> 動詞の連用形に接続助詞「て」を添えた形に付いて、やりにくいことをみごとに、また、思いきってやってしまう意を表す。「少ない日程で作業をやって―・ける」「言いたいことを相手構わず言って―・ける」

Here, やりにくいこと ("difficult thing to do") can be either something that is
technically difficult or something that is socially/ethically inappropriate or
questionable.

  * When it is used with a technically difficult thing, it means "to really do ～", "to succeed in doing ～", etc. It sometimes (but not always) has the connotation of "easily" and used with words like 平然と, こともなげに, 当然のように, etc.
  * When it is used with a ethically/socially questionable thing, it means "dare do ～", "to really do ～", "to have the courage to do ～", "to be bold enough to ～", "not to hesitate to do ～", etc. Can be used for both praising and scorning someone.

The subject is almost always a human. その車は1時間で東京まで走ってのけた sounds a little
unnatural to me.

You can see many examples here:
