I have just finished readinging (again) one of my all time favourite books. Mary Shelly's Frankenstien.
I find it asks all sorts of hugely philosophical questions, not least what it is to be human, and of course vengance is a central theme of the story. In the end both Frankensteins and the monsters quest for vengance ends in the death of both. Both of their lifes are lost and none are the richer for it. As BB would have it 'just saying'.
