* In one of the ''[[James Bond (novel)|James Bond]]'' books by John Gardner, the [[Big Bad]] was the daughter of Blofeld, who wants revenge against Bond for killing Blofeld back in ''[[You Only Live Twice]]'' (the book).
** This is more [[Avenging the Villain]], given who Blofeld was. Also, as Nena Blofeld is also the new leader of SPECTRE she'd still have a compelling need to kill James Bond even if she were entirely indifferent to her father's death.
* In ''[[Enuma Elish]]'', Tiamat does her best to avenge Apsu's death at the hands of the Annunaki, completely ignoring the two small facts that Apsu was actively planning to kill them and that ''she herself ratted him out to them'', allowing a preventive strike.
* In ''[[The Iliad]]'', Hector of Troy gets the bad end of this. His country is at war with the Greeks (who are the invaders) and he kills Patroclus in battle. Achilles, Patroclus's [[Ho Yay|best friend]], kills Hector in revenge and desecrates his corpse. Today, Hector is the one usually portrayed sympathetically.
