The many injuries of mental torment [from Fortunado] I had endured (ignored) as best as I could; but when he continued upon insults, I declared my revenge. You, who knows me so well, won’t give a second thought [about my actions], though I made my threat serious. To which I’d fully avenge myself; ultimately making my point clear–though leaving zero room for any argument, with it being resolved, but leaving the idea of risk. I must not punish, but punish with freedom from harm or loss (impunity). A wrong [is a grievance or injustice] when retribution overpowers its redresser (someone who sets a wrong right). It is equally wrong when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who committed the wrong. rewritten from edgar allan poe's "cask of amontillado" im so good at writing oh also revision-- The many injuries of mental torment [from Fortunado] I had endured (ignored) as best as I could; but when he continued upon insults, I declared my revenge. You, who knows me so well, won’t give a second thought [about my thoughts], though my threat is very serious. To which I’d fully avenge myself; ultimately making my point clear–though leaving zero room for any argument, with it being resolved, but leaving the idea of risk. I must not punish, but punish with freedom from harm or loss (impunity). A wrong [is a grievance or injustice] stays as such when retribution overpowers its redresser (someone who sets a wrong right). It is equally wrong when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who committed the wrong (getting caught).
