Diction: Seeking Jane-stice

In 2011, Nic Cage starred in several films, but one of his less interesting films was "Seeking Justice". After his wife is raped, Will Gerard, a high school English teacher (Nic Cage), is approached by a mysterious man who says he can have the rapist taken care of, as long as Will does them a favor in the future. After some thought, Will realizes that he wants revenge and agrees. The next day he is handed an envelope with a picture of the rapist with a bullet in his head. Will is full of regret, but he doesn't worry about it too much until he is approached by the mysterious man once again, this time with the intent of getting a favor. Will is then caught in the middle of a huge conspiracy involving murder and corruption of the law. In Jane Eyre, when Jane is speaking to Mrs. Reed and Mr. Brocklehurst, she thinks:“Something of vengeance I had tasted for the first time; as aromatic wine it seemed, on swallowing, warm and racy: its after-flavour, metallic and corroding, gave me a sensation as if I had been poisoned”(37). Jane feels vengeance and enjoys it quite a bit, but knows that it's bad. She shows us this by thinking "its after-flavour, metallic and corroding, gave me a sensation as if I had been poisoned", she sees that revenge is bad for you. She also sees that it feels good like "an aromatic wine". This quote applies to "Seeking Justice" as well as Jane Eyre, because both Jane and Will want vengeance at first and it feels good for a short, but after a bit they both realize just how bad it is. Although Will's situation is much more severe, the quote works well.
