520    This approach to Shakespeare's treatment of revenge 
       emphasizes the psychology of revenge and, in particular, 
       the relationship of revenge to the experience of 
       victimization. Instead of assuming that dramatic avengers 
       reflect mental imbalance to be condemned for moral and 
       civil offenses, Keyishian treats revenge as a strategy by 
       which victims strive to restore personal integrity and 
       recover from feelings of powerlessness, violation, and 
       injustice. Keyishian bases his discussion on Renaissance 
       theories about the proper and beneficial role of the 
       passions, from Aristotle and Aquinas to Francis Bacon, 
       Niccolo Machiavelli, and others. His study ranges from 
       authentic and redemptive avengers like Macduff to purely 
       vindictive ones like Iago.
