%%* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': ???

** Charles devotes his life to [[RapeAndRevenge hunting the rapist]] all the way around the world.

** Alice kills Charles because "he could have stopped the rape, but didn't". even though Charles didn't even know about the rape before Alice told him about it, just before she killed him.
** Bob kills Alice after raping her.
* '''GenderInvertedTrope''': Bob is raped by Alice, tracks her down, and deals with her (or hires someone to do it for him,or a member of his family does such). Messily.

** Charles says, "Mark my words, Bob will never get away with this!". What he does is having Alice and her family bring a criminal suit against Bob. They win the case.

* '''Zig Zagged''': Bob rapes Alice to death, and the night after her funeral Alice's ghost tells Charles of this and begs him to avenge her. Charles hesitates and is indecisive throughout the story, passing up chances to kill Bob despite them being in the same proximity yet still ending or ruining the lives of Bob's friends who helped cover the rape up. When Charles finally does kill Bob, it is completely by accident.

** Charles promises himself that he'll retain the moral high ground. He'll try to capture Bob alive to hand him to the authorities. He'll still kill Bob if [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections Bob]] [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney somehow]] [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers escapes]] [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem justice]], but even then it will only be to prevent Bob from hurting others.

** Charles kills Bob, then it turns out that Alice lied. The sex was in fact consensual, but in Alice's culture, nonmarital sex is punished harshly with the only exception being for rape victims...
