Nero

Nero was born evil by nature, but the power he inherited didn't seem to do much to help stop this evil. With his crazy antics, obnoxious behavior, and cruel mannerisms, he seemed to play a torture on the common people. What is confusing to me though, is at the end of the article I noticed that it stated the common people loved Nero. How could one love a man who raised their taxes, stole their goods, pillaged their streets, and attacked their women? Nero was born evil, he had killed his mother and family, murdered his two wives, and was selfish among his rule in the senate. When Nero committed suicide, it was almost weak, as committing suicide was shown as a cowardly way out. Nero was cruel, but weak; Powerful, but corrupt.
