How an offensive remark rebounds like a boomerang on the one who launches it. Revenge as a motive plays a key role in the study of the causes and consequences of rude conduct. A string of succinct conflicts leads, with changing perspectives, to a surprising climax, and teaches us that the wounded person can never efface his or her pain by hurting someone else. Because in many cases, the unforeseen effects are quite far-reaching.
