I posted this on reddit explaining about feud 15 days ago for anyone who is confused.

thanks for sharing, that was well-written!

I definitely think HRY is justified in her revenge, after all she's held this all-consuming emotion for 400 years, and this was her only reason and motivation for everything she did in these few centuries. 

as a viewer, obviously I wished she would've actually felt empathy for him but and regretted everything she did, but then it wouldn't be real because her suffering in those 10 years, which was involuntarily caused by him, is very real too.

good point that HRY didn't actually want to kill BJS the first time, but that she just wanted to trap him so he wouldn't interfere when she goes around to steal the 4 artifacts. This entire plot (of her first revenge) was brought back in such short flashbacks, that I totally missed that, or didn't realise that. 

I wished they showed more of that part, what she did to gather the artifacts, and also show more suffering on BJS part for the 100 years. We didn't see anything about him being sealed for 100 years, we only heard from them recounting it so it doesn't feel painful at all to us as viewers.
