About This Novel
"The Revenge of Colomba" is a famous novel by Mérimée, which describes the ancient custom of "family revenge" unique to Corsica. After the Battle of Waterloo, Lieutenant Reso retired and returned to his home island of Corsica. His father was murdered and killed by the village chief Barricini and his son. His sister Colomba encouraged her brother to avenge her father. However, his brother believed that "family revenge" was a remnant of barbaric customs and was unwilling to engage in it rashly. However, Colomba's careful planning and clever arrangements still aroused her brother's desire for revenge. The brother and sister finally killed their enemy and avenged their father's murder. Mérimée wrote a thrilling revenge story with careful conception, concise language and bright rhythm.

But I feel that if the Barricini family hadn't attacked them first, the hero would not have killed them.
