Q. Read the passage below. What does the narrator plan to do?
The thousand injuries of Fortunado I had borne as best I could, but when he insulted me, I vowed revenge. You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that I gave utterance to a threat. Soon enough, I would be avenged: this was a point definitely settled--but it would be risky. I must not only punish but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.
It must be understood that neither by word nor deed had I given Fortunado cause to doubt my good will. I continued to smile in his face, and he did not perceive that my smile now was at the thought of his immolation.

Get revenge on Fortunado
