Month of the Greats: What Constitutes Greatness (Discussion)

[Wren of the Brown]

I guess I'm not sure what you're proposing. A "great" or "overpowering threat of evil or someone who was a great villain?

 

Inquiring minds want to know.

I assume the obvious example would be someone like Hitler. He did many "great" things, but also evil. He conquered Europe, innovated war, annihilated peoples from Jews, to Poles, to Roma Gypsies, to Homosexuals in ways that are astounding, and not before seen as a system of death.

 

Kind of ties it back to our earlier posts on Ollivander's conversation with Harry Potter about Lord Voldemort.

 

It is an example that "great" does not always mean "good".
