Harm was done to someone or something; a wound was inflicted. What is to be done with the pain and suffering that resulted from that transgression? Unexpectedly, this is a “literary” problem, because both the victim and the perpetrator respond by telling a story about what happened. The question is, what kinds of stories get told? What presuppositions authorize the different possible ways of telling them, and what are the implications of the various narrative configurations? Forgiveness is usually understood as one possible response of a victim to someone who has offended him or her, as a decision to grant absolution rather than to blame. Such a view turns the question of forgiveness into a moral (or even moralistic) issue. I am arguing, on the contrary, that in order to understand the significance of forgiveness, we must take it out of the realm of morality altogether. When we do so, forgiveness emerges not as a response to someone else’s action, but is instead an internal move—a change of attitude within the self—that has no necessary relation to the question of whether or not the victim has decided to absolve the other party. Forgiveness, then, need not be defined as an indulgent or selfless generosity toward the perpetrator: a gift that displaces and annuls the rage of retribution. The offender’s culpability is actually irrelevant to the most immediate problem at hand, the problem of how to move forward after having received a wound. The first step towards a forgiveness associated with healing cannot take place as long as the victim is blaming (or excusing) the person who has done wrong. The reason for this has to do with the similar psychology at work in both blame and defense:
