“Vendetta” was put in the 1880's, and was written by Guy de Maupassant. It was written a while before where the expression every man for himself was factually done and used back there, as the existence they led was all about the mafia and it being set in Italy, things like that were logically ordinary. The civilization of the region, which was set in Sicily, did affect the old widow's performance towards her taking her vengeance on Nicolas Ravolti, the man who killed her son. The feud was her promising her son that she would take vengeance and the man who killed her son will feel death, as she said while her son was lying lifeless in her arms, she said "you will be avenged my son"...
The widow Saverini lived in a very empty region where the author describes her environs as "infertile" and "clustered", she makes it so that it reflects on the widow's character that after living on this infertile coast all these years has brushed off on the widow's manners and outlook.
The author also says that it was a place where "barely a ship ventures", this shows that the woman was aged and also unaccompanied; the place she lived in didn't consist of lots of people living there, except just her and her son. Her way of life around her was very dividing, just leaving her living in that small house "overhanging the sea". The separation of this woman's surroundings must've made her very self charge on herself and not rely on others as much and this cruel surroundings was what must've moulded her nature. The author here is almost making a theoretical point that the civilization people may live in may influence their natural world and the way they are, which is what happened with the widow, in her empty world.
