Signed: Date: , 2019 v UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA ABSTRAK Judul tesis ini adalah Revenge As Portrayed In Emily Bronte Wuthering Heights and Alexander Dumas‟s the count of Monte Cristo: A Comparative Literature. Analisis difokuskan pada ide-ide tematik atau sentral dari kedua novel dalam hal analisis literatur komparatif. Tema itu sendiri disebut balas dendam sebagai respons terhadap kekecewaan karena pengkhianatan cinta dan kegagalan untuk mencapai keadilan. Balas dendam seharusnya merupakan reaksi yang memiliki dampak terbalik terhadap orang yang telah melakukan pengkhianatan dan ketidakadilan. Selain itu, kesamaan tema dapat ditelusuri dalam dua novel serta perbedaan dengan menggunakan teori literatur komparatif. Metode yang digunakan dalam melakukan analisis adalah deskriptif kualitatif. Dikatakan demikian karena data yang dianalisis dideskripsikan dengan analisis interpretatif dengan menggambarkan data yang ada. Kata kunci: karakter utama, balas dendam, pengkhianatan dan keadilan vi UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA ABSTRACT The title of this thesis is Revenge as Portrayed in Emily Bronte Wuthering Heights and Alexander Dumas‟s the count of Monte Cristo: A Comparative Literature. The analysis is focused on thematic or central ideas of the two novels in terms of comparative literature analysis. The theme itself is referred to revenge as the response towards disappointment because of love betrayal and the failure to achieve justice. Revenge is supposed to the reaction that has reverse impact to one who has made the betrayal and the injustice. Besides that, the similarity of the theme can be traced in the two novels as well as the difference by using comparative literature theory. The method applied in doing the analysis is descriptive qualitative. It is said so because the data analyzed is described by interpretative analysis by describing the existing data.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] The bitter taste of payback: the pathologising effect of TV revengendas Abstract The thirst for vengeance is a timeless subject in popular entertainment. One need only think of Old Testament scripture; Shakespeare's Hamlet; Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill or the TV series Revenge, and we immediately conjure up images of a protagonist striving to seek justice to avenge a heinous wrong committed against them. These texts, and others like it, speak to that which is ingrained in our human spirit about not only holding others responsible for their actions, but also about retaliation as payback. This article seeks to problematise the way the popular revenge narrative effectively constructs the vendetta as a guilty pleasure through which the audience can vicariously gain satisfaction, while at the same time perpetuates law's rhetoric that personal desires for vengeance are to be repressed and denied.

  • The Understandings of Revenge Through Discussions with University Students
    The understandings of revenge through discussions with University students Elise McKenna Honours Thesis in Legal Studies Murdoch University, 2016 Declaration: “I declare this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not been previously submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution” (Elise May McKenna) Abstract: The goal of this study was to examine how revenge is understood by a sample of university students using a grounded theory approach. Desires and acts of revenge were found to be more prevalent in interpersonal relationships than stranger to stranger. Revenge was also shown to be a behaviour made through a costs benefit analysis to the victim rather than an act of irrationality. In addition to this, the understanding and concepts of revenge by the students were at times to be influenced by how the media had portrayed it to them. Lastly, it was shown that acts of revenge were used in all different groups of victims and types of harms through indirect and direct behaviours. Acknowledgments: This research was initially supported by Dr Courtney Field and I would like to thank him for initiating my interest in the topic of revenge and providing me with his insight. I would also, however, like to express my sincere gratitude to my Supervisor- Associate Professor Guy Hall. Supervision for this thesis has been complicated and when I needed someone to step in he did not hesitate to take on this role. I am very grateful for the time, effort and encouragement Guy has provided me over this year and previous years.

  • Betrayal in the Life of Edward De Vere & the Works of Shakespeare
    Brief Chronicles V (2014) 47 Betrayal in the Life of Edward de Vere & the Works of Shakespeare Richard M. Waugaman* “The reasoned criticism of a prevailing belief is a service to the proponents of that belief; if they are incapable of defending it, they are well advised to abandon it. Any substantive objection is permissible and encouraged; the only exception being that ad hominem attacks on the personality or motives of the author are excluded.” — Carl Sagan e have betrayed Shakespeare. We have failed to recognize his true identity. Any discussion of the theme of betrayal in his works must Wbegin here. We psychoanalysts have also betrayed Freud, in “analyzing” rather than evaluating objectively Freud’s passionately held belief during his final years that “William Shakespeare” was the pseudonym of the Elizabethan courtier poet and playwright Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford (1550-1604).1 Freud realized that one unconscious motive for our betrayal of Shakespeare2 is our implacable wish to idealize him. That is, we prefer to accept the traditional author not just in spite of how little we know about him, but precisely because we know so little about him. Thus, we can more easily imagine that this shadowy inkblot of a figure was as glorious a person as are his literary creations. The real Shakespeare was a highly flawed human being who knew betrayal first-hand, since his childhood, from both sides, both as betrayer and betrayed. * This article was originally published in Betrayal: Developmental, Literary, and Clinical Realms, edited by Salman Akhtar (published by Karnac Books in 2013), and is reprinted with kind per- mission of Karnac Books.

  • Betrayal, Rejection, Revenge, and Forgiveness: an Interpersonal Script Approach
    Betrayal, Rejection, Revenge, and Forgiveness: An Interpersonal Script Approach Julie Fitness Macquarie University Email: [email protected] In: Leary, M. (Ed.) (2001) Interpersonal rejection (pp. 73-103). New York: Oxford University Press. Acknowledgement: The author acknowledges the support of a Large ARC grant A79601552 in the writing of this chapter. 2 Introduction Throughout recorded human history, treachery and betrayal have been considered amongst the very worst offences people could commit against their kith and kin. Dante, for example, relegated traitors to the lowest and coldest regions of Hell, to be forever frozen up to their necks in a lake of ice with blizzards storming all about them, as punishment for having acted so coldly toward others. Even today, the crime of treason merits the most severe penalties, including capital punishment. However, betrayals need not involve issues of national security to be regarded as serious. From sexual infidelity to disclosing a friend’s secrets, betraying another person or group of people implies unspeakable disloyalty, a breach of trust, and a violation of what is good and proper. Moreover, all of us will suffer both minor and major betrayals throughout our lives, and most of us will, if only unwittingly, betray others (Jones & Burdette, 1994). The Macquarie Dictionary (1991) lists a number of different, though closely related, meanings of the term “to betray,” including to deliver up to an enemy, to be disloyal or unfaithful, to deceive or mislead, to reveal secrets, to seduce and desert, and to disappoint the hopes or expectations of another. Implicit in a number of these definitions is the rejection or discounting of one person by another; however, the nature of the relationship between interpersonal betrayal and rejection has not been explicitly addressed in the social psychological literature.

  • “Messengers of Justice and of Wrath”: the Captivity
    ―Messengers of Justice and of Wrath‖: The Captivity-Revenge Cycle in the American Frontier Romance A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Brian P. Elliott June 2011 © 2011 Brian P. Elliott. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled ―Messengers of Justice and of Wrath‖: The Captivity-Revenge Cycle in the American Frontier Romance by BRIAN P. ELLIOTT has been approved for the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences by Paul C. Jones Associate Professor of English Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT ELLIOTT, BRIAN P., Ph.D., June 2011, English ―Messengers of Justice and of Wrath‖: The Captivity-Revenge Cycle in the American Frontier Romance Director of Dissertation: Paul C. Jones This project explores the central importance of captivity and revenge to four novels in the genre of frontier romance: Charles Brockden Brown‘s Edgar Huntly (1799), James Fenimore Cooper‘s Last of the Mohicans (1826), Catharine Maria Sedgwick‘s Hope Leslie (1827), and Robert Montgomery Bird‘s Nick of the Woods (1837). Although a fundamental plot aspect of nearly every work in the genre, the threat of captivity and the necessity of revenge are rarely approached as topics of inquiry, despite their deep connection to the structure and action of the texts. Perhaps most importantly, as critics Jeremy Engels and Greg Goodale note, these twin tropes serve as a way of unifying disparate social groups and creating order; in essence, such depictions function as a form of what Michel Foucault terms ―governmentality,‖ logics of control that originate from non-governmental sources but promote systems of governance.

  • Medea & Phaedra
    Medea & Phaedra: Tragedies of Passion, Betrayal, and Revenge Theater of War creator Bryan Doerries returns to BAM to lead discussion surrounding mental health through readings from Euripides’ Medea and Seneca’s Phaedra Medea & Phaedra: Tragedies of Passion, Betrayal, and Revenge Led by Bryan Doerries With Elizabeth Marvel, Amy Ryan, Donnetta Lavinia Grays, and Bill Camp Mon, Jun 20 at 7pm BAM Fisher (Fishman Space), 321 Ashland Pl Free with RSVP Brooklyn, NY/May 19, 2016—BAM Humanities presents Medea & Phaedra: Tragedies of Passion, Betrayal, and Revenge—an evening of performance and dialogue featuring dramatic readings of scenes from Euripides’ Medea and Seneca’s Phaedra, followed by discussion about the relevance of these myths to contemporary society. The evening will be led by Theater of War founder Bryan Doerries, using his translation of Medea and a translation of Phaedra by Laura Weber, with performances by Elizabeth Marvel, Amy Ryan, Donnetta Lavinia Grays, and Bill Camp. Medea and Phaedra—both of which timelessly explore how scorned passion can lead to revenge and unthinkable violence—will serve as the gateway to a discussion surrounding mental illness. These plays pose the question as to whether the irreversible actions of the titular characters are driven by mental illness. From there, Doerries will facilitate a conversation that will address under-discussed mental health issues—such as post-partum depression and psychosis—and will extend to recent incidents that seem uncannily similar to the plots of these ancient plays. For press information contact Christina Norris at [email protected] or 718.636.4129 x8. About the artists Writer, director, and translator Bryan Doerries is the founder of Theater of War, a project that presents readings of ancient Greek plays to military and civilian communities to initiate conversations about the wounds of war.
