Revenge In The Count Of Monte Cristo

Gatsby ultimately becomes enemies with Tom because he is a bootlegger and makes his relationship with Daisy all too clear to see. He accepts an insincere dinner invitation which angers Tom even more because he begins to realize there is something going on between Gatsby and his wife. This aggressive and unfriendly relationship between Gatsby and Tom proves that Gatsby is foolish because he does not think of the consequences for his actions in the long run if Tom finds out. He made little to no effort to hide it and Daisy does not help. Gatsby also tells many lies (mostly to Nick) throughout the course of the novel.

Socrates would rather suffer from injustice for the sole reason of not being shameful. This a turning point of the people welcoming injustice as they would realize that their actions have effects not only to the sufferer but to themselves.

As for the doer of injustice, they would feel emotional pain.

However, Cory was discontent of his social status. He ventured into town and politely greeted his bystanders, but the townspeople admired him for his wealth and social standing, not for companionship or friendship. This isolation is revealed in the last line of the poem when Cory “Went home and put a bullet through his head” (16). He appeared to be happy, but appearance can be deceiving. It is concluded that Richard Cory was a lonely man; he was financially rich, but socially deprived, thus directing him to commit suicide.

Dick Slagle and Holden form a love-hate relationship. Slagle has very inexpensive suitcases which he is embarrassed about. His embarrassment results in hiding his own suitcases and removing  Holden’s, so he seems wealthy. Holden states it depressed the “holy hell” out of him.

However, sometimes you have to put yourself in a victim's shoes. If that was your kid, wouldn’t you want to get revenge on the murderer. Your whole view of revenge would probably change. It is easy for someone to say revenge is bad when they have never felt the need for revenge. Most people would seek revenge on someone if something bad happened to them.

Seeking revenge offers no solution. The best form of revenge comes through forgiveness as a process of healing. The desire to inflict the same pain we have endured on the person or people who have inflicted pain on us is purely revenge. In Kindred, by Octavia Butler the protagonist, Dana

When people are so simple yet nice, people will try to take advantage of them and try to alter them.

Everyone has a different understanding of justice through the experiences that they have

He managed to convince a group of clearly hardened criminals to follow him in a military fashion, and in another instance when the good guys took him back. He often seems to be mercurial, changing his attitude to whomever he is with. Silver is not portrayed to be a conventional man of the times, which is clearly shown by the fact that even though he was a sea faring man, his intelligence was shown through in his banking account. He often talked about the people of color he longed to be with, (which is normal now, but incredibly odd for the time period of the book) and that he had a wife of color.

Othello is a general whom Lago serves as an ensign. Lago later on reassures Roderigo that he hates Othello, and the main reason for the hatred is the act the Michael Cassio had been recently promoted to the post of lieutenant. This forms the plot at the beginning of the story and creates a good ground of the various issues surrounding gender and sexuality in the society.
