The Vengeance is an idea..... a symbol of the revolutionaries. Vengeance also symbolizes the uncivilized and barbaric actions by the revolutionaries. It symbolized the lengths they'd go to attain a means to their end. Dickens doesn't give Vengeance a name because it isn't a person.... it's an ideal.
