The Gladiator paper
Maximus went out to battle with his soldiers were success everywhere they went. At war, he was eager to went back home to get along with family. The emperor was sick and decides to demise his crown to Maximus. Unfortunately, Commodus as the crown prince saw this situation and killed all the relatives of Maximus. The reasons for Rome’s decline, first is the fall of Rome was a process lasting hundreds of years; it was not a single event that occurred is A.D. 476. Second, only the western half of the Empire fell.
After the emperor dead, Commodus ascends the throne. Maximus who was escape with bare life became a slave and was trained to a gladiator in the arena. He changed his goal and become braver. In order to get close to Commodus and revenge, he turn into the hero in the people's heart and lighted the flash point of the decline of Roman Empire.
Maximus is a real hero and the lead of millions of soldiers for the Roman army, but he always remember the days he separate with his wife. He was got the chance to demise the crown, but he just wanted to back home to be a farmer. He is a real hero who has no lust of power. He thinks he can get along with his wife and son in happiness. Maximus has the good leadership and get the respect of others. Commodus is the son of the king. He was lack of reason and does things not rational. He is a king but no one will serve him.
Maximus was a gracious soldier with high sense of ethics. To be loyalty to his nation, he put the dignity and honor of Roman Empire higher than himself. He also got the esteem and respect from his soldiers and people. I am not quite understand the American history and I just know the Civil War.
This war was the large-scale civil war in the country. The reason will trace back to Lincoln's take office of president. He gave orders to attack the "revolting" state. Then it became the current event at that time and lead the slavery to be abolished in south of America. It also had a big influence on the folk in days to come. The army recruited the black to be the soldiers. So the president, Lincoln, won the support of parts of black man. It became one of the reason for succeed. Therefore, the only way to win the war is to obtain the support of people in the country.
"What we do in life echoes in eternity” , from this word we can find out that Maximus was a good person and soldier. He cared about the interest of his country rather than his own interest. Only his soldiers were worth of death, he will be relieved. If their death can exchange for the good days of his people, he was willing to. This is also done for the descendants of them in the country's future. There is an old saying in China "Although all men must die, someone must be worth dying and someone must not." They want to make the change of the future.
