    The quote I chose is‚ “The best revenge is not to become like the one who wronged you.” Marcus Aurelius came up with this quote.

But‚ if you don’t get revenge on them and don’t stoop to their level‚ it’ll be revenge within itself because it shows them that you’re the bigger person. A real word example would be‚ the United States and terrorists

    control through her husband. She persuades Macbeth into killing Duncan so that he can become king after the incident. She characterizes one of the ongoing thematic elements of guilt throughout the play and this finally leads to her death in the end.
