Acts 5:5 "And Ananias
hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on
all them that heard these things."
The right kind of
retribution can be very cathartic for a reader. If the antagonist is very
violent throughout the story, an arrest might seem a let down to the reader, if
that’s where the story ends.
A hint of the kind of
punishment the villain faces after being convicted at trial may help soothe the
reader’s outrage. Tying up enough loose ends so the reader will know there will
be no escape from the antagonist’s fate will also help.
Sometimes a writer might imagine a different way to dole out retribution. An arsonist trapped in his own fire could be one way.
