... speak freely (at least in private) with Antony, and often is used as a person to whom Antony confides in. We see Antony confiding in Enobarbus in Act I, Scene ii, as Antony explains how Cleopatra is "cunning past man's thought" (I.ii.146).

As time progresses, they come to accept prison’s daily routine. The prisoners grow accustomed to being told what to do, then doing it. When enough time passes, prison life is all the life that they know. Acceptance of their controlled ...

... solely for the money, but others were driven by another means. Hatred, vengeance, and just plain lunacy; are all things that have caused people to step over that line into evil. Hitler is a prime example, his hatred towards all other races combined with his complete insanity provided for the death of millions of people. Not a person in this world, with their sanity in tact, would deny that he was as evil as they come.
