The revenge tale “Dolan’s Cadillac” by Stephen King is very thoughtful and scrupulously written. The main character, Tom Robinson, haunted by the ghost of his wife, transforms himself into an obsessed vengeance machine, pushing him beyond the breaking point of mind, body and spirit. Retribution is in charge of him. The reader can see what human being is capable for, in order just to pay back his rival. His idea is to kill Dolan, but this murder should be very cautious and considered. He plans every step cleverly and it doesn’t matter that those steps take years of his life.
Even Mr. Robinson accomplished his plan, making Dolan’s cadillac his tomb, I don’t think he felt relieved and fulfilled. His wife is not alive anymore, and no righteous kill can replace her being there. Tom just won justice, but at the same time his soul filled with emptiness, because he is left alone with nothing to live for.
