Best Answer

He was, and is a tragic figure in that he was not always the evil that power and war made him. Once, Robespierre, who when in power ordered the deaths of so many, could not bring himself to order the deaths of even criminals, and so sacrificed his job and a prosperous future as a judge to avoid it.
