Unpopular opinion but Sweeney Todd is not sufficiently punished by the narrative. He is the title character (protagonist) which means we are supposed to emulate him. He dies before he can explicitly state “Revenge is bad and don’t kill innocent people.” Then the finale says “To seek revenge may lead to hell but everyone does it, though seldom as well as Sweeney Todd” which normalizes murder and revenge. Also even in the finale Mrs Lovett does not get mentioned for her part in the work (anti feminist) but that’s a different post.
