No, 'An Eye for an Eye' is typically more of a symbolic or fictional expression rather than based on real events. It's used to illustrate moral and ethical questions.
Since I don't know the exact story, I can't give an example from it. But generally, in an 'eye for an eye' scenario, like in a feud between two families in a small town. If one family's property was damaged by the other, they might have retaliated by damaging the other family's property in a similar way.
In some traditional tribal societies, there were rules based on 'eye for an eye'. For example, if a member of one tribe killed a member of another tribe, the second tribe might demand that the killer be handed over for execution, which was seen as an equal response to the loss of life. This was often a way to maintain a balance of justice within the tribal system and is a true - story - based example of 'eye for an eye'.
I recommend "Primordial God Source" to you. This book is written by the author, Yan Cai. It's a fantasy novel about immortal cultivation. The main character of the novel was a youth cursed by hell. In the turbulent world, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and finally became the supreme Source of God. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
Well, 'Eye for an Eye' is purely fictional. It's the imagination of the writer or creators and doesn't draw from actual true incidents. The story is crafted to entertain and engage the audience within a made-up framework.
Another book might be 'A Tale of Two Cities' by Charles Dickens. The French Revolution setting has instances of the oppressed rising up and taking revenge on the aristocracy. The idea of the common people wanting justice for the wrongs done to them, which can be seen as a form of 'an eye for an eye' in the context of the historical events.
It really varies. Some manga have characters who can keep secrets well, while in others, secrets are spilled easily. It all depends on the story's context and the personalities of the characters.
