i think that when someone goes overboard with revenge is when they coincide..When someone starts torturing the person they are think deserve revenge is where i thnk it crosses the line, or even when someone thinks death is revenge.

I think that coinciding with insanity id when you do worse to a person than they did to you. If someone were to hit you and you decide to kill them, than that is going over the line. I don’t think any one should do something to someone, if they know that the person is going to want to seek revenge.

I dont think revenge ever coincides with insanity unless the revenge targets someone who did not do harm to u, and as long as the revenge is justified in some way.

I agree with with everyone who left the comments because revange is were you want to get back at someone because they did something to you in a hurtful way where insainty is where you just are crazy and if you just kill someone or hurt them when they didn't do anything to you well then your insane.

I think that sometimes when someone is overcome with revenge they go insane and sometimes when you're insane you think somebody deserves revenge that they don't actually so they totally coincide.

I would have to agree that once you want to kill someone, then you become insane. Revenge has a way to drive people to their limits and make them go insane. I think that revenge and insanity coincide with each other at any level, because you get sucked in and can't get out. You start with a simple plan for revenge, but as time goes on, the plan gets more complex and gruesome, and eventually ends up driving you insane.

I think revenge concides with insanity when, as other people have said, it's worse than what the person did to you. Wanting to kill someone could be considered insane, unless they killed someone important to you. Then I think it's justifiable to want to kill them, but I don't think it's always justifiable to kill them back.

I think that if anyone does a wrong to you that you probably and most likely want revenge. This doesn't mean you are insane though. But there is revenge in insanity, because if somebody want's revenge too badly and goes psycho over it, they are probably insane.

Revenge coincide with insanity only in some caces. Revenge on someone who may have polled a prank on you and you get back at them by pranking them back is one thing. But swering revenge one some one for something much wores or personal, there comes in insanity. Like from the "Cask of Amontillado" it had to have taken a lot of thought or none at all to think of that plan to kill. To think of ways to kill people or already having ideas meens that you have got to be insane.

I disagree with quinn on a certain level because revenge is a natural feeling. Althuogh he does have some good points because usually if you are honestly sorry you'll be forgiven.
