But you,an ill-favored and contemptible insect who delights in suckinghuman blood, I wish that I could have killed you even if I had incurred a heavier penalty. Also, in the fable it states that “The Bald Man replied, “I can easily make peace with myself, because I know there was no intention to hurt. Then the fly beings to say you see what you did to yourself simply to get revenge for something that is not so deep instead of forgiving me. Escaping, the fly said mockingly,”You who have wished to revenge, even with death, the Prick of a tiny insect, see what you have done to yourself to add insult to injury?…” This quote means a fly bit a man on his head he tried killing the fly but the fly was already gone. An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind runs the opening quotation, attributed to Gandhi, and clearly placed there to ensure that the most casual viewer understands Vollrath’s. In the fable, it states that “A fly bit the bare head of a bald man who endeavoring to destroy it, gave himself a heavy slap. Is it worth a lifetime of pain and misery just to get back at a person or is it better to live your life. This quote relates to the theme since it shows how revenge can compound issues worldwide, and revenge could continue conflicts until everyone is involved. Also, he does not mind if he hurt himself really bad because it is easier to forgive yourself then someone else that caused you pain. A eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, by Mahatma Gandhi. The Aesop fable “ The bald Man and The Fly” is about revenge because he does not care if he hurts himself all he cares about is getting back at the fly for hurting him. Is it worth a lifetime of pain and misery just to get back at a person or is it better to live your life to your fullest potential? In the Aesop “The bald Man and The Fly” and in the short story “Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe discuss the theme of revenge which show that they would do anything in their power to punish the person that did them wrong even if it consumed them. “A eye for an eye makes the whole world blind,” by Mahatma Gandhi.
