A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.

Let's change the words "unredressed" and "redressed" to their actual meanings.
A wrong is not set right when the act of revenge catches up with an act of correcting evil. It is equally not set right when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.
It basically means "two wrongs don't make a right"

break down and annotate the question.
"A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong."
1) a wrong is unredressed... redressed would mean to redo, un is to... well, undo... it basically means, a wrong is undone...
2) when retribution(something deserved; punishment) overtakes its redresser... when punishment overtakes what is being redone.
3) It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.... it is equally undone when the avenger doesn't empathize with the wrongdoer.
a wrong is undone...when punishment overtakes what is being redone... it is equally undone when the avenger empathizes with the wrongdoer.
A wrong is undone when it is being solved/fixed by punishment. It is equally undone when the avenger looks down upon the wrong-doer, and fails to empathize with him.

a wrong is not righted when the person who tries to right it suffers retribution.
it is also not righted when the person who is trying to right it is unable to make the person who did the wrong in the first place feel that he has made a mistake

It means that a wrong is very bad n that its even worse if tha person who has been wronged does nothing about it.
