What are classic historical examples of a man or woman's strength, when taken to excess, becoming a big weakness?

1 SOTWord, regarding your answer "Okay...I'm a geek": Great, insightful answer & very helpful. I'm GLAD you're a geek, just don't oversuse it, ha! .

2 awarulz, regarding your answer "Let me give you several": Your answers, while interesting, don't explain what the strength was that they used to excess, i.e. Samson was strong, where's the excessive use of it? Or JFK's sexiness, he used his "sexiness" to an extreme, or did he simply have loose morals?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
