Hercules

Evil Leaders: Do they do any Good at all?

The Evil leader in this part of the preasentation/report is Hades from the classic Disney movie

Hurcules. Hades is the leader of the underground with few followers. Although not seen as big

as a leader as Jafar or Captain Hook, he still leads his minions and titians in all the same ways.

Using the same 5 sources of power as the Presedent of the United States for example.

Hades is the older, evil brother of the greek god Zeus, Hades was banned to the

underworld and must wait 18 years to try to steal the throne from Zeus. Hades is a verry

cinical person. He is a very fast talker and is able to convince people to do what he

wants/ needs. He uses cohersion and manipulation to get what he wants. His plan is to

kill Hercules and retake the throne of olympus. Hades does hold legetimet power over

the underworld, which entiltles him to use any villian in the movie to his advantage. He

also holds some referent power also. Most of the underworld like him but most do not

know why. He also uses some reward power in the film as well. He makes promises

and deals that he usualy never follows through with as long as it benefits him. His expert

power may be questioned, it is based on the premise that your followers like you.

Hades, being immortal can instill fear in anyone at anytime, but does not always choose

to. I think it is a split between Fear/Respect/Guidance in why people obey him. They are

fearfull for their lives, whether it be life or death, or Hades making the rest of their

immortal life hell. They respect him because he does give his followers some guidance

and they really have no other choice.

After watching this flick I have came to the conclusion that all the actions, desitions and

motives made and used by Hades are all for his own good. He does not care what

happens to his two sidekkicks, cyclops, the titans of the underworld, or even Zeus,

Hercules nad Meg. He just wants to become the ruler of Olympus. He is willing to cheat,

steal, lie and even kill for what he wants. There are many bad consiquenses that

happened from Hadess actions. Many innocent civillians were injured or killed, many

cities were crumbled, and a war was caused with the gods. Although there was so much

bad consiquences, there was also some good. With Hades breaking a promise that

Mmeg wouldnt get hurt, Hurcules gets his strength back to win the battle, and

becoming the new leader of olympus. In my view of the movie I think Hades did not

Intentionally do nice things for the greater good. He used villians as his pawns to do his

dirty work for him.
