Ambition In Julius Caesar

Throughout history, political leaders are known to protect their people and have ambition towards honor. However, history has not been perfect in that sense; Leaders such as Julius Caesar and Adolf Hitler have consumed power and hurt others for their own benefits. Hitler wanting adulation and honor had to force this way into the minds of his people. Caesar wanting an empire and all the power from the Senate had to defeat Pompey to become the only ruler of Rome. Did both Hitler and Caesar abuse power to fulfill their ambition and gain honor?
Their uses of their power were quite different. Hitler was viewed as a demagogue who would do anything to get revenge for WWII, while Caesar had defeated Pompey to become the ruler of Rome. Caesar took power
Caesar’s drive for more power made people see him as ambition, but were his actions directed towards hurting people for himself? This question is still unanswered, but there isn’t anything horrific that Caesar has done with his ambition of power that has harmed anyone like Hitler has. Hitler believed all Germans were Aryans and that Jews were and should be treated as a minority. Hitler's ambition was to exterminate every non-Aryan person. This was a dangerous thinking which led to his dangerous actions. But was Caesar's ambition as evil a HItler’s? Leaving his country joy and pleasure within his will. This was an act of kindness from the heart of Caesar. This demonstrates a legitimate claim for Caesar having a right minded
Hitler and Caesar both had the intentions of gaining power and building empires. Caesar wanted to start an empire, while Hitler wanted Germany to be a complete Aryan race. Were Hitler’s intentions honorable? Hitler could see himself as whatever he wanted; most people were scared to even say his name let alone say that he wasn’t honorable. The Nazi Party honored him, but they didn’t have a choice. Hitler indirectly murdered more than six million people based on their: race, disabilities, sexuality, and beliefs. That itself suggests how crooked he was, nothing honorable about him. Caesar, on the other hand, has rested in peace honorably because of what he died for. He himself couldn’t trust he was doing was best for Rome when he said “Et tu Bruté, then fall Caesar” in Caesar, he accepted his death because his trusted friend also thought he shouldn’t be king. Caesar knew that him dying might be the best thing for Rome, and this was an honorable act. Honor has been achieved when you are admired and respected through your actions; when Caesar was assassinated chaos emerged because many people honored Caesar. Before Hitler committed suicide, people were angry of how he led Germany to doom, and they were going to kill him eventually with a more harmful death than suicide. The people’s honor for these two men is shown in their
