Why revenge is aesthetic

Revenge is essentially aesthetic because it has  to be composed, staged and performed. For the plot to ‘work’, it has to be thought out, and so it entails both deferring gratification and a certain conscientiousness. And all this makes it a disturbing commentary on – or parody of – many of our most cherished values..

'Right he did that to me, OK I will get him, the bastard. Just wait, may take a little time but...'

Hamlet: O, vengeance!
Why, what an ass am I! This is most brave,
That I, the son of a dear father murder'd,
Prompted to my revenge by heaven and hell,
Must, like a whore, unpack my heart with words,

Iago: But partly led to diet my revenge,. For that I do ...
Desdemona. I love her too, not simply out of lust,
but also to feed my revenge
