Vengeance

Experiences of feeling as if someone has taken away something deeply important to you can lead to revenges. I've once watched a TV show in which an ex-ballarian seek revenge on the bus driver who caught her in a car accident and costed her legs. There were many other more common examples, Quinn, a popular cheerleader, suspected her boyfriend to secretly admire Rachel, a girl with far less superior social status. That was when she started to be mean to Rachel and tried her best to destroy the girl. Her revenge however, only lead to an increase affection between Rachel and her boyfriend. This lead us to our next question, How could an obsession with vengeance lead to tragedy? Revenge is not a logical emotion , it is out of hatred. So revenge, just like any other irrational emotions such as love, can lead to tragedy. It is particularly easy to end revenge with a note of tragedy since the emotions for revenge are negative, and the character often had to battle with their conscious while they were performing the action.
