YMMV / William Telll

• Complete Monster: In Friedrich Schiller's 1804 play, Albrecht Gessler is the tyrannical deputy of the Hapsburgs in Switzerland. Imprisoning, torturing and killing many with a law that failure to salute his cap is punishable by death, Gessler has an old man blinded for a trifling offense with hopes to provoke the Swiss so the Hapsburgs may crush them. Upon arresting William Tell, Gessler forces him to shoot an apple off his own son's head for sport, later even showing himself willing to ride down a woman and her children for standing in the way of his horse.
