As reported in the Santa Cruz Sentinel, "Her only excuse is that she wanted to be revenged on Boronda, whom she believed intended deserting her and leaving for Mexico."

Later the provinces of Connacht and Ulster became at war, and Cet used the ball as a sling stone, wounding Connor greviously in the head - this began the fulfillment of a prophecy that Mesgegra would be revenged on Ulster after his death - King Connor's doctors advised that extreme stress of exertion might open the ball's wound and kill him, and so he lived carefully for seven years. However one day an eclipse occurred and Connor sought his druid on its cause - he was informed that the cause was the murder of Jesus by the Jews - Connor became incensed by this news, and this caused the wound to re-open, bring about his death. Keating notes that Connor died before the death of Jesus, and gives the explanation that the druid must have prophesied Jesus's death.

Later, Titus comes to feel that even God has become involved in his desire for revenge; "Here display at last/What God will have discovered for revenge" (4.1.73). Then, upon the discovery of who raped Lavinia, he declares > And swear with me, as, with the woeful fere > And father of that chaste dishonoured dame, > Lord Junius Brutus sware for Lucrece' rape, > That we will prosecute by good advice, > Mortal revenge upon these traitorous Goths, > And see their blood, or die with this reproach.
