This essay examines the deadly sin of anger (wrath) in Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels (1726) and Andrew Kevin Walker’s film Seven (1995). While anger in aphorisms written by Gustav Flaubert or Ambrose Bierce seems to be light and humorous, the anger expressed by Det. Mills and John Doe in the film Seven is intense and serious due to horrible homicides committed in a very extraordinary situation. In contrast to Seven, ‘colère’ in the French/Italian film of comedy Les Sept Péchés Capitaux (1952) appears light and vulgar because it is tied to a quarrel between husband and wife. Both Swift and John Doe display aggression as a means to force people to pay attention to them by kicking the stomach or hitting with a sledgehammer. Both of them share ‘indignation’ against the squalor in the corrupted world around them. Avoiding ‘sæva Indignatio (fierce indignation)’ requires us to be patient as Gulliver displayed at the court of Brodgingnag when the virtuous giant King treats him as a tiny insect.
