Revenge In 'The Ballad Of William Bloat'
The poem “The Ballad of William Bloat,” is about revenge and reveals it’s not the best option because it may be the death of you. The quote “For the razor blade was German made,But the sheet was Belfast linen.” Shows that when the husband took revenge on the wife it was him that was tying his own rope metaphorically and literally. Another quote that shows this theme of revenge is,” When she lay there stiff and still
But a sudden awe of the angry law, Struck his heart with an icy chill,” this shows that even when he had his revenge he was not happy for she lay there peaceful, the anger from seeing her is what caused him to kill himself. These show you will never be satisfied with revenge because it gets you nowhere.
