The Virtues Of Vengeance

This title argues that vengeance has fallen into disrepute without being seriously examined with respect to its real moral value. It investigates the use of vengeance themes in literature and popular culture, from the ""Iliad"" and ""Hamlet"" to film Westerns such as Clint Eastwood's ""Unforgiven"".
