Document Summary
Key theme: the replacement of revenge by justice => we can"t have justice if people hanging around revenge for their ancestors => if we don"t have justice so people going to murder each other. It is not just about progress => gift of justice => how it is formed, how old way is delaminated. Your mindless may vary => you have your own opinions and you completely entitled to them. It is not clear that things going to go good eventually => life is tragic that the past powerfully affect present, we cannot always easily escape the past. Among clashes found in the play, not only conflicts between revenge and justice. God and older god, human and god but also human and humans, characters and characters=> character expose each other, conflict with each other. In this play not many free will though => present the edge of the wedge.
