"Victorious?" (6)

Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" could be examined in more than one way. The first time someone might hear the song, they may think that Jeremy killed his enemies. Then the first time someone might watch the music video for the controversial song, they may think it was an action that was undecided. Many people believe the song may have influenced some of the school violence that happened after the song was released.

The speaker is trying to say that even though you are having fun making fun of someone else, it is hurting him or her more inside. If someone is not paid attention to by their loved ones, it can hurt them more inside too. It could hurt them so much that it could make them violent. The antecedent would be everyone one pushing him to the edge by hurting him. The consequence would be the violence he resorted to. "Jeremy" appeals to pathos. It has a lot of emotion in it. "Jeremy" is evaluation. The bully, the speaker, places blame on himself and Jeremy's parents.

Actions could speak louder than words. Jeremy's action of either killing his enemies or committing suicide definitely spoke louder than anyone could have spoken.
