Answer:

The passage best represents the theme of "Ambition and fallibility".

Step-by-step explanation:

It clearly illustrates how the character recapitulates on his fallible actions acknowledging how deeply flawed as a human he's been, on account of being seduced by his own ambitions while conscious of it, and yet too weak to retrieve himself from it.
