Revenge

So there is this new TV drama on ABC called revenge, where this girl Emily Thorne seeks revenge on the family that framed her father. Secretly, she is Amanda Clark, daughter of the framed terrorist. She keeps her identity a secret so she can get back at everyone who destroyed her life and childhood. During her course for revenge, she has to hurt many people and keep her emotions hidden for the one she loves. Emily also uncovers more hidden secrets by the people that betrayed her father. Soon, on her course of revenge, not only will she affect her life, she will affect the life of the people she loves. I don't think that revenge is worth anything. I think the best way to get revenge is to move on and be happy with your life now. By dwelling on the past, you will only ruin your life further. I don't think i would seek revenge and ruin the lives of the people who ruined my life. Yes, I might hate them for it, but i wouldn't waste my time after them. One thing I also noticed while watching this show is that we justify Emily's actions for revenge, but hate Victoria Grayson (the woman partially responsible for Emily's father's destruction) for saving her family and doing what she thought was right. I sometimes think Emily is kind of doing the right thing, because she is doing it for her deceased father, who was wrongly accused of a crime he didn't commit, and also because the Graysons deserve it for hurting innocent lives on their path to success. I feel like Victoria shouldn't be hated because she thought best for the ones she loved. Emily necessarily isn't doing anything wrong, mostly bringing out the truth, but she does do a lot of evil stuff along the way. She breaks into houses, causes drama between people, causes a fire, and spies on people. Sometimes I feel like Emily is the more evil one, but Victoria is full of surprises. Can't want to see what this season brings.

  1. I love that show!! It's my addcition I watch it every sunday when it's on but honestly if I was at her spot I probably would just do the same I would want revenge for those who hurt my family I would want o amke them pay for the pain and the suffering that they have caused me so I understand why she would want revenge.

  2. Don't hate me, but I've never heard of that show, but only because I haven't even touched a t.v. in months. I'm kind of undecided about the whole revenge thing. On one hand, I'd love to forget about it, and move on. On the other hand, this is FAMILY we're talking about. It's sort of like an "oh, no, you didn't" feeling, and messing with someone's family is really serious.
