Throughout the years, it has been common knowledge that greed is the powerful thing that rules with fear and drives many of the people in this world to their own demise. Sometimes, it’s not even their fault, and they are just paying the price of another person, who always in the end, gets paid back with punishment. And such it is in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskervilles, a tale written in 1901 of the innocent, the guilty, and the mysteries around them. The story is the investigation by Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes of the mysterious death of the late baronet, Sir Charles, whose nephew, Sir Henry, was the inheritor of the estate and fortune located upon the eerie moor. The Baskerville line, it seems, is plagued by a hound who walks upon the moor at night, all because of the greed of the evil Hugo Baskerville, who lived many generations before Sir Charles. While there, things get quite heated, with the discovery of a not only of murder plot belonging to Mr. Stapleton against all Baskervilles, multiple deceptions and disguises, but ultimately the answering of the impending question - was the family ghost real? Doyle develops the theme of the novel that greed is a powerful motivator by illustrating that greed leads to impulsive behavior and actions because greed pressures people to take extreme measures, alters men into monsters,
Hitler started off as failed artist who wasn’t amounting to much in his life until he was made chancellor and used the Nazi party to build a racist state in Germany. Hitler started by promising people basic necessities to gain support. Then the power started to rush to his head when Nazi’s started to belittle non-Aryans and made stereotyping part of the curriculum for school children. He made Jewish people wear the star of David on their arms and if they owned a business, they had to put signs in their windows saying that they were Jewish. The Nazi party used Jewish people as a major scapegoat for their economic issues like the Great Depression and World War Two. It even got to a point where Hitler passed laws striping Jews of their basic rights.
After World War I, Adolf Hitler was one of the dictators that arose; which then gained power in Germany in its Great Depression. Hitler rose to power using techniques such as propaganda, censorship, charisma and terror, but that was not all he did. Hitler started his own fascist party in Germany and called it the Nazi Party. Later, Hitler developed anti-semitism, or prejudice against Jews and dehumanized them. He viewed Jews as a separate race not a religion. This caused many changes particularly to the Jews. During World War I the Nazi’s treatment of the Jews caused political, economic, and social changes.
Hitler is most commonly a man who is known to be the instigator of World War II and the driving force behind the attempt to exterminate European Jewry, otherwise known as the Holocaust. Hitler is also a leader who has never had the privilege of being a respected across the globe. The work of historians , who found the bright side of the Fuhrer , were never accepted by the society and thus Hitler remains as a ‘black sheep’ in the world history among others .Adolf Hitler was and still remains to be one of the cruelest rulers the world has ever seen.
World War II was a devastating war where millions of soldiers and civilians died. Adolf Hitler played a huge part in World War II and was one of the major reasons the war happened. Hitler started to take over countries like Austria with little or no resistance. When he later tried to invade Poland, Britain declared war. Even though there was very little fighting at the time Britain declared war. Hitler’s ideas and goals for Germany were what initially caused World War II and later led to the holocaust. His need for more space for Germany led him to start taking over countries and initially started the war with Britain and he wanted a superior Aryan race which is the reason for the Holocaust. Hitler stated the three reasons for starting this war in his Journal Mein Kampf. His goals were to get rid of the Treaty of Versailles, make a Greater Germany, and he wanted more living space for his people.
Greed, as defined by The Webster Dictionary, is the intense, selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food. The greed the couple expresses in The Devil and Tom Walker is unmistakable. The devil reveals the treasure buried in the swamp to Tom and offers him a trade. Tom must think about the deal and returns home to inform his wife about the deal. “All her avarice was awakened at the mention of hidden gold, and she urged her husband to comply with the black man’s terms and secure what would make them wealthy for life” (Irving). Tom’s wife could not even fathom what the consequences may be, only that wealth is the ultimate outcome. “Greed has unpleasant effects on our inner emotional lives. The anxiety and restlessness we feel when we long for some possession, and the false assurance that upon gaining it we'll be put at ease and satisfied places us in a literally vicious circle. By contrast, the virtue of generosity is most present not only when we share, but enjoy doing so” (Austin). The wife succumbs to the devil and Tom ends up with the treasure, only to live a lonely, rich, and short life. If the couple had only practiced generosity with the wealth, shared joy would have been experienced by both. In the end, the greed cost Tom his life as well. The black man had come for Tom. “‘Tom, you’re come for,’ said the black fellow gruffly. Tom shrank back, but too late. He had left
Think of Greed as buying a phone and having a new model that's better and it comes out right after just buying the current one. Makes people always want the best and almost always feel dissatisfied with what they have. There will always be a new phone and it'll always be better than what they have. Then desire more, and desire makes people unhappy as an example. As from the book The Great Gatsby by, F. Scott Fitzgerald.
“Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes” (34, Wiesel). After World War II, Germany’s economy was horrible. A man named Adolf Hitler was voted to rule after he promised a better economy. Once he was in power he had the goal of conquering other countries around Germany and exterminating Jews. Hitler used concentration camps that used gas chambers and weapons to kill Jews.
Historically, the hostility against Jews was present in the ancient, medieval, and modern world following World War I. From the crusades to the Age of Enlightenment, hatred for the Jews was common amongst the diversity of European culture. The only action that was unprecedented was the death camps. Adolf Hitler is often seen as responsible for the Holocaust. Many believe that without Hitler, there would not have been a Holocaust. Adolf Hitler was primarily motivated by the lust for power and domination. To acquire this power, he needed to find a way to unite the disparaged people of Germany. He used the historical dislike and mistrust of Jews and blamed the problems of Germany on them. He accused the Jews of wanting to overrun German society and destroy the German state: "The Jew, whether consciously or unconsciously, whether he wishes it or not, undermines the platform on which alone a nation can stand."[2] With this preface, the only way for Germany to survive and thrive was to get rid of the Jews.
Throughout life, greed has always played a role in people’s actions whether they are aware of it or not. Greed is a very powerful thing that can affect someone in a negative way. No one realizes how much it affects them until something bad happens and it’s too late. People will do whatever it takes just to get their wants fulfilled. They don’t think about the outcome or care what happens just as long as they get what they want. In Shakespeare’s Macbeth, greed corrupts Macbeth which then creates his downfall.

Scientists and psychological experts dig deep in Hitler’s life and past experiences to come up with an explanation of his inhuman leadership during the holocaust. His childhood is where most experts believe his personality stemmed from.
