In William Shakespeare's play "Measure for Measure," the character reflects on the nature of power and strength. He acknowledges that possessing great strength can be seen as admirable, akin to a giant's power. However, he warns that wielding such power irresponsibly can lead to tyranny and oppression.
This quote suggests a moral dilemma about authority and the responsibility that comes with it. It emphasizes that while having the ability to dominate or control can be impressive, it is crucial to exercise such power ethically and justly, rather than abusing it for selfish ends.
