Julius Caesar - Literary Focus - Tragedy: Alas, An Unhappy Ending (Journal #2, Marking Period 1)



In your journals, consider the following quote:

"Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely." Lord Acton

The actual quote is: "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

What leaders can you think of who abused their power? What are some of the psychological or practical reasons this leader may have done so? How did other people respond to this abuse? What other ways could they have responded?
