This unit asks students to read three concentrated works that treat revenge as something designed, not merely felt. Poe’s narrator writes a manual for perfect vengeance. Blake’s speaker waters wrath until it fruits. Shakespeare’s Ghost does not request revenge so much as command it. Students track theme through characterization and plot, analyze irony and dramatic convention, and write with text evidence and original commentary.
