themes of ambition and power
Ambition is the strong desire to achieve success or reach goals, while power refers to having influence or control over others or situations. When combined, these themes explore how the pursuit of success can lead individuals to seek greater influence, sometimes at any cost. They often reveal human motivations, the drive to leave a legacy, and the ethical questions surrounding how far one should go to attain or maintain control. These themes highlight the complex relationship between personal aspirations and the potential consequences of wielding power, emphasizing both the potential for achievement and the risk of overreach.
