This short summary covers three quotes from two different works of literature. The first quote expresses confusion over evidence against the speaker from James Hogg's The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner. The second is from Simon Armitage's Sir Gawain and The Green Knight and describes a lady departing after being entertained by a man. The third again comes from Hogg's work and describes a life filled with trouble, change, anger, sorrow and vengeance.

Yet the evidence was against me”

and of vengeance”
