Julius Caesar

In my opinion, people with high power should put their subjects before himself in order to be a great leader.

In the tragedy, Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, only one character did this, Mark Antony. All the others were just interested in power and would do anything to gain a higher status. Including deceiving the entire population of Rome and manipulating friends.

Antony never became power hungry or mad for revenge after Caesar's betray and death. Speaking at the funeral, he gave only facts and let the Romans decide for themselves whether Cassius and Brutus were traitors or doing what they had to for the benefit of Rome.

Antony, displaying genuine interest for Rome, showed real leadership.
