Examples Of Alexander The Great Villain
In my opinion, Alexander the Great was a terrifying, barbaric villain who conquered many cities and changed many cultures so he could benefit by gaining more land, power and money.
One reason I think he is a villain is the way he ruled people to obey him. For example after he conquered cities he sold 30,000 people into slavery and killed over 6,000 people to scare the people of Greece obey to him. He sold the slaves to the rich people so he can gain trust of the people.
Alexander the Great was very greedy wanting land, money and power. He wanted land to extend his empire. And with that, gaining more power among the people. He sold people as slaves for money. Although Alexander the Great seemed generous to some people but he's really selfish

    Alexanders respect of other people's beliefs was one of the biggest reasons he is considered great. While other conquerors in this time period, like the persians, would try to destroy and get rid of other people's cultures Alexander would study and learn from them.

In other places he would study their beliefs, and try to understand them as a people, and he may have been doing this to learn how to control them, but based on his character it is more likely that he did it so learn how to respect them.…

    Alexander the Great was a lord of Macedonia in Ancient Greece. He was conceived in Macedonia in 356 BC. He was guided by Aristotle and turned into the ruler of Macedonia at 20 years old. He was known for building a major realm crosswise over numerous Greek settlements. Along these lines, Greek culture was spread out along numerous urban communities all through the Near East. The Greek culture spreading along the Near East was something worth being thankful for Greece since it enabled them to impact culture and dialect into different urban communities. It wasn't such something worth being thankful for the general population that lived in the Near East urban communities and past in light of the fact that they didn't get the chance to build up…

    But Alexander the Great did things way worse than this. He conquered civilizations against their own will, he killed anyone that didn’t agree with him and anyone he thought would stand in his way. According to ALEXANDER-THE-NOT-SO-GREAT, “According to legend, when Alexander the Great saw that his empire stretched across the entire known world, he wept for there were no more kingdoms left to conquer. By the age of 30, Alexander ruled over an empire spanning three continents and covering more than two million square miles (The John Maxwell Company 1) Alexander had conquered the whole world by the time he was only 30, he passed away when he was just thirty two, murdering thousands of thousands of people. When there were no more civilizations to conquer he broke down and cried. He was a cruel killer. He wanted to murder and he had already taken over the whole known world and he wanted more. This is not a mark of someone who is a hero. A hero doesn’t kill millions of people a hero is not selfish enough to break down and cry when there was nobody else to kill. He only thought about himself since he would kill anybody that he thought might get in the way of anything he was…
