Redemption often plays a role too. As the character seeking revenge progresses through their plan, they may find themselves at a crossroads where they have to choose between further revenge or redemption. In 'Wuthering Heights', Heathcliff could be seen as on a path of self - destruction through revenge until his death which could be seen as a form of redemption.
Unrequited love is also a frequent plot element. The character who feels scorned in love decides to take revenge. In many revenge love stories, the initial love is so intense that when it turns sour, the resulting revenge is equally as powerful.
In these novels, a character's past actions related to love can come back to haunt them, causing hate and revenge. For instance, if a character once rejected someone cruelly in the name of love, the spurned person may return with a vengeance later. Also, family feuds over love interests are common. The families' long - held grudges can fuel the hate and revenge between characters who fall in love across the family divide. These plot elements add drama and tension to the story.

Another common plot element could be a character who is forced into a wedding against their will, and they then use the situation to seek revenge on those who forced them.

The revenge could involve ruining the reputation of those who pushed for the wedding or finding a way to break free from the unwanted union in a spectacular way that also embarrasses the other parties.
Another element is transformation. The love interest might change the hitman in some way.
