Occurring in “The Shawshank Redemption,” are copious scenes that indicate revenge, the act of acquiring retribution. Revenge is what many people resort to after being hurt by another, which makes it important within the storyline of “The Shawshank Redemption.” Assuming that Andy was guilty of taking revenge against his wife and her lover is an example.
