Roman Emperors were often known as cruel and evil. They obtained unlimited power and did with such power as they pleased. They were dictators and the lives of commoners and people that inhabited Rome had no effect on the way they chose to rule their territory. They only saw people as stepping stones to better themselves. When Brontë refers John Reed to not only a Roman Emperor but also a slave-driver she truly means that he is repulsive. That he is a retched little boy who believes that he deserves better than everyone else, especially Jane.
