The Great Dictator-Painting #1

"The Great Dictator" on page 936 is an image of Adolf Hitler. It was created by Charlie Chaplin as he is the film director and used it to satirize the "great dictator." The image shows Adolf Hitler looking at a globe. Hitler is dressed in an suit that shows his power. While he is looking at the globe, he is looking at the places he wishes to rule and takeover, as well as the ones he has already destroyed. The expression on his face is a surprised look. I interpreted the surprise look on his face as him seeing a new spot which he could take over. Also, since it is Hitler, the whole globe in front of him shows that he wants to be the dictator of the whole world.
