FOCUS: Revenge and the Law.
- Authors
Carbone, Paola; Rossi, Giuseppe
- Abstract
This document is an editorial that explores the theme of revenge in relation to the law. It uses examples from literature to discuss the tension between emotional ideas of guilt and rational ideas of unlawfulness. The editorial also examines the complexity of revenge as an emotional response and its role in redressing grievances. It concludes by highlighting the blurred line between law enforcement and revenge, and the cultural beliefs that shape the law-revenge relationship. The text explores these themes through literary, philosophical, and historical perspectives.
