What are books, poems, movies or songs about revenge?
Depends what you’re interested in – things range from Johnny Cash’s “Boy Named Sue” to Euripedes’ Medea, Shakespeare’s Hamlet / Thomas Kyd’s The Spanish Tragedy / (“Revenge Tragedy” genre), The Simpsons episode on revenge ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenge_Is_… ), early modern ballads like “Barbara Allen” or “Sir Patrick Spens” (see reference), something more ambiguous like O’Connor’s “The Lame Shall Enter First” / Poe’s “Ligeia,” or–of course–the Count of Monte Cristo.
