Quá khứ: revengedPhân từ 2: revengedV-ing: revenging

This word carries a heavy emotional weight of bitterness and obsession. It describes a cycle of retaliation where the goal is to balance a perceived moral scale by causing the other party equal or greater suffering. It is often associated with a slow, calculated process rather than a spontaneous reaction. While vengeance is a synonym, revenge is more commonly used in everyday language to describe personal vendettas. It differs from justice in that it is personal and emotional, whereas justice is impartial and legal. The term often implies a destructive outcome where the seeker of revenge is consumed by their own anger.

Used as an abstract concept of retaliation, such as saying there is no room for revenge in this house.
