Burn Theme of Revenge

Revenge is almost as ubiquitous in Burn as ash in the air. It's everywhere you turn, and it's a force that fuels almost all of the characters. Most of the wretches want revenge on the Dome, and the Pures want revenge on Partridge. People even want revenge on themselves — just look at El Capitan, who often feels like he needs a good beating to cleanse himself of his sins.

But what happens when these characters get the revenge they seek? Do they feel satisfied, or do they seek newer, shiner modes of revenge?
