I can almost see that on a business card - maybe for the protagonist in George Clooney's next vehicle. The idea that he's given up his dreams of tyranny in order to destroy democracy on behalf of others makes me see him as a sort of anti-Everyman, who suddenly leaves his senses at the end of his life and decides on hell for everyone. Or maybe it's just the fox and the grapes all over again.
