Gladiator, Violence, and the Founding of a Republic
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 January 2009
Abstract
Ridley Scott's 2000 film Gladiator presents a view of the transition from dictatorship to the republic that one also finds in the discourses of certain political leaders today. I argue that we can learn about violence and the founding of a republic from an analysis and, especially, a critique of Gladiator.
