Leviathan depicts a view of human nature in which people are brutish, power-hungry creatures that transfer their inherent rights to all things to a Leviathan because they are fearful of other people who would kill them for power or tools of survival and a supreme being would protect them. Even the strongest of men is fearful because the weakest has the ability to kill him, so everyone enters into a permanent contract in hopes of self-preservation. Fear of others is traded for fear of the all powerful Leviathan who is authorized to do anything necessary to maintain civil peace.
