Revenge as a Catalyst for Self-Destruction
Revenge is portrayed as a destructive force that erodes judgment and perpetuates cycles of violence. The quest for vengeance consumes both the avenger and those around them, stripping away rational self-preservation and turning rebels into oppressors. The narrative illustrates how revenge poisons its wielder and perpetuates the very systems it seeks to overthrow.
