Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. "Punishment" and "revenge" meant the same thing. The title is because the Duque punished his wife by having his illegitimate son kill her and then he had that son killed. He, himself, did not mete out the punishment nor did he take revenge, but you could say both Federico and Casandra were punished for their love. Is that what you meant?
