Depending on the choices made and the uncontrollable circumstances that an individual is exposed to, his or her character will reflect those instances. In the non-fiction novel “In Cold Blood,” by Truman Capote, the reader is introduced to Perry Smith and Dick Hickock who without any remorse murdered the Clutter family. Is it simply human nature to commit gruesome acts without feeling a sense of guilt?

Subsequently, Hank murders Mr. Pederson and rather than “a realization that what I [he] was doing was unequivocally wrong” (Smith 91), he felt nothing because in his mind he was doing it for something of unparalleled value.

Vengeance is the act of recovering justice by forcing the opposing individual to endure same punishment or exceed a far more harsh consequence than the victim. People often try to obtain revenge upon others for the wrong reasons due to fact that they believe the actions or sins of another person have affected the victim in a negative way. The Scarlet Letter, written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, uses the relentless character, Mr. Roger Chillingworth, to describe the result of being resentful and unforgiving to his wifes secret lover, Reverend Dimmesdale. The Scarlet Letter also vividly describes how Chillingworth became self absorbed with vengeance and how vengeance changes his physical appearance.

The word revenge is heard all over the news today. The news shows how people are trying to get revenge such as terrorist groups or individuals harming each other.

Revenge is the act of doing something to hurt someone because that person did something that hurt them. People have been getting revenge on others for thousands of years. People usually get revenge to regain power because when someone wrongs them they feel like power has been taken from them. Sometimes people like to go outside of the law to get revenge. This is because they feel like the law is not enough to give the person who wronged them the right amount of punishment for what they have done. “Daddy” by Sylvia Plath, “Sweat” by Zora Neale Hurston, and “Cask of the Amontillado” by Edgar Allen Poe all show the things they or their characters would do to get revenge on the person that wronged them and the different ways they did it.
