Depends on the society and the portrayal of the act, which shows whether the revenge was established. In The Count of Monte Cristo, Dante is shown by the author to have a great reason for revenge, as long as he didn't become as bad as the people who hurt him, as he almost hurt two people who had nothing to do with the crime against him. I guess revenge is OK as long as the avenger doesn't become as heartless and merciless as those who hurt him.

Depends specifically upon your historical context, and the situation at hand. I suggest looking at the Romans through Marc Anthony's revenge in the Shakespeare Play Julius Caesar. Very conflicting and powerful.
Yum.

It depends on who's society, where and when.
The American bombing of Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki was vengeful. Arlington Cemetery and the surrender at Fort Sumner was also.
In contrast the 47 Ronin is a popular example of vengeance being celebrated as honorable.
