Abraham Lincoln said‚ “Nearly all men can stand adversity‚ but if you want to test a man’s character‚ give him power.” Anyone can fight against his or her hardships‚ but the way a person uses their authority shows their potential and leadership qualities. The plays Antigone by Sophocles and Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare prove this a valid quote. In the play Antigone‚ Creon becomes overly confident with his power

We see an example of this in the novel‚ Of Mice and Men written by John Steinbeck. In the novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck we can see through the characterization of Curley’s wife. It is natural to want to feel valued and respected. She wants attention so badly that she doesn’t care if she leaved the house and goes to Crook’s room
