Oathbringer Part Two

...if a people are oppressed and they find themselves freed from that oppression, is it any surprise that they would want to strike back at their oppressors? That???s why colonial powers always feared native uprisings and rebellions: because they were afraid that the horrors they had perpetrated on the native populace would then be turned upon them.

But is it right? That is where it gets more complicated. The notion of retribution ??? an eye for an eye and so on ??? seems logical, if not outright justifiable, but again, is it right? Is it right to massacre one???s oppressors? Is it right to enslave them? It is justifiable, yes, but is it the right thing to do? There are no easy answers for that question, and the novel does not even attempt to offer such answers. What it does, however, is leave the question open for the reader, so that he or she may come to his or her own conclusions ??? if such is even possible.
