“The Thief and the Dogs” by Naguib Mahfouz is a novel that can easily be tied to others such as “Hamlet” by William Shakespeare. The entire novel is based on revenge. Said was incarcerated in jail for four years because of his best friends and his wives fault. Throughout the entire novel we see that Said is solemnly seeking revenge. Because of the fact that he can’t let he looses his daughter Sana, he looses Nur, he kills innocent people and he ends up dying at the end of the story. Revenge always brings out the worst in us.
Revenge is a twisted idea. It is human nature to seek revenge after someone has hurt us or someone dear to us. But forgiveness is one of the steps that let us forget about the past and not make us want to seek revenge. It is crucial to forgive rather then hurt because we have been hurt. If we seek revenge there will be a never ending cycle of revenge because if someone hurts us and we seek revenge then the person that was close to that person will also want to seek revenge. Revenge is never a good thing it only makes us do horrible things.
