The Count of Monte-Cristo1975

Edmond Dantes:
If a man tortures or murders your brother or your son - or your father - kills one of those beings who leave an eternal emptiness and a bleeding wound when they're torn from your heart, do you really think society has given you sufficient reparation because the blade of the guillotine has passed between the murderer's trapezius and his occipital bone? Because the man who cause you *immeasurable* suffering has endured a few seconds of physical pain?

De Villefort:
My dear count, are you suggesting the suggesting the medieval way - torture?

Edmond Dantes:
I am suggesting the holy remedy: an eye for an eye.
