Horatio is Hamlet's closest friend, and he's the only one who really seems to deserve the title. Unlike Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (also Hamlet's old chums), Horatio's loyalty and common sense are rock-steady throughout the play.
In fact, one of the first things we learn about Horatio is his good sense. When we first see Horatio, he's been called to the castle by the guards because he's a "scholar" (he goes to school in Wittenberg with Hamlet). That means he should be able to judge whether or not the apparition that's been appearing on the battlements is actually a ghost. According to Marcellus, Horatio says that the ghost is "but [the guards'] fantasy, / And will not let belief take hold of him" (1.1.28-29).
He's convinced of the spirit's legitimacy soon enough, but his initial skepticism introduces the first note of doubt in the play, one that will haunt his friend Hamlet for several acts.

Answer:
Joe Kanty had a legitimate reason to seek revenge in 'Spunk' while none of the characters from “A Good Man is Hard to Find” had any legitimate reason for vengeance.
Explanation:
Vengeance (the act of revenging or taking revenge) is an act of paying back someone, often in their own coin, for a perceived injustice or wrong done to the person seeking revenge.
The character 'Joe Kanty' in the novel 'Spunk' did have a legitimate reason to seek revenge on the main character of the novel 'Spunk Banks.'
Spank Banks, a fearless, courageous and heftily-built man who worked at a sawmill, had taken the wife of Joe Kanty from him, as was Bank's usual custom.
When Joe Kanty summoned the courage to confront Spunk Banks, Spunk shot Joe dead right in front of his wife, Lena; who despised her husband Joe anyway on account of his timidity. It is believed that Joe's spirit came back to take revenge on Spunk by pushing off a log of wood onto the cutting blade which severely injured him. Spunk later died of the injury wounds.
None of the characters in the book 'A Good Man Is Hard to Find' however, has any legitimate reason to seek revenge, even though Bailey's family was murdered by the Misfit and his henchmen after their car had an accident.
