    Emily is a sincere person, she says whatever is on her mind and wants to know the truth. She does not want to be spiteful to others, but she sometimes gets carried away and says hurtful things. When George (from the Gibbs family) asks Emily why she had been treating him differently, Emily told him that he was “conceited and stuck-up”. She did not tell him anything except the truth and proceeded to tell him “all the girls say so.” Even though Emily’s personality seemed to come across as unkind, her intentions were genuine and good. When she helped George with his homework she had no sign of malevolence, instead she wanted to help him because she liked him. Emily told the truth and expected the same thing in return, like when she asked her mother “will you answer me a question, serious?” She wanted an honest answer from her mother because she…

    Revenge, the action of inflicting hurt or harm on someone for their wrongdoings against another, is characterized as a corruption of the mind of the affected individual. Throughout the history of literature, countless authors have incorporated the theme of revenge into their works. For example, in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s, The Scarlet Letter, Roger Chillingworth seeks revenge on Minister Dimmesdale because of his crime committed with Hester. Similarly, in William Shakespeare’s, Othello, Iago devises an evil plan to avenge Othello of his rumored sin.…

    Revenge is a selfish quality that only benefits you, and helps nobody else. The predominant emotions that occur when revenge is achieved include: hurt, anger, spite, guilt and many more to follow; the emotions that make revenge different from justice are all selfish emotions that again, only benefit (or harm) you. For example “Revenge is mostly about “acting out” (typically through violence) markedly negative emotions.” “Justice...isn’t really about “getting even” or experiencing a spiteful joy in retaliation. Instead, it’s about righting a wrong…”. Seltzer tells us in his Don’t Confuse Revenge With Justice: Five Key Differences article, that “revenge has a certain selfish quality to it, “cool” justice is selfless in that it relies on non-self-interested, established law.” This snippet is describing that revenge is selfish and only done for the good of one, whereas justice is done for the good of many. Revenge is also an act of vindictiveness that is claimed to happen in cycles. The cycles can occur between a span of 24 hours to 24 years, because it doesn't happen just once. “Those who wish to punish the current and future generations for the inequities of a generation long gone, and who equate justice with revenge, are the most dangerous people in the world.” --Dean…

    To me revenge is getting back at someone for harm or wrongs done by them to you. I have two different views on revenge; one being it is completely justified and the other being that you can leave it in the hands of karma. In the play Hamlet, he seeks revenge on his uncle (Claudius) due to the fact that his uncle had poisoned his father and then married his mother. In the text Blocking the transmission of violence Martins revenge was justified due to the fact that his nephew’s life was wrongfully taken. I feel as if Hamlets and Martins revenge were completely justified because when it comes to family it is human nature to seek revenge on those who have harmed you or the ones you love (such as your family), hamlet and martin both felt as if seeking revenge would help their loved ones be laid to rest, and lastly they both had a sense of “if I don’t do this for them, who will”?…

    Emily is sheltered a lot as a child by her father. She wasn’t allowed to do much of anything. She was always expected to behave honorably being of high status in the community. Like most fathers who think nobody is good enough for their daughters, he chased away every boy that ever tried to court Emily. She was so attached to her father, so when he died she couldn’t bring herself to believe it. She held his decaying body in their house for three days because she was in such denial. Her father was the only person she had ever really had, and he was all she knew. People should have worried about her then but they just brushed it off and believed “that with nothing left, she would have to cling to that which had robbed her, as people will” (223). That should have been a sign of going down the wrong path. It is one thing to grieve…
