    1. довести до крайности кого to cause s.o. to lose his composure:
    - X drove Y over the edge < the brink>;
    - [in limited contexts] Y (had) reached his limit.
         ♦...Может быть, эта легенда возникла как галлюцинация в мозгу у людей, доведённых до крайности (Рыбаков 1)....Maybe this legend arose like a hallucination in the minds of people who had reached their limit (1a).
    2. довести до крайности что to take (some matter, line of reasoning etc) beyond the usual limits:
    - X довёл Y до крайности X took Y to extremes < to its extreme>.
         ♦ Такой метод оценки, доведённый до крайности, был бы ешё глупее, чем подход к писателям и критикам как к выразителям общих мыслей (Набоков 1). Such a method of evaluation, taken to its extreme, would be even sillier than approaching writers and critics as exponents of general ideas (1a).
         ♦ Три месяца до ареста жена уговаривала меня не объявлять голодовку, хоть не бессрочную: "Двух недель достаточно. Ну, пусть три недели..." - торговалась она со мной, а я смеялся и говорил, что вытяну несколько месяцев и непременно сниму [голодовку], не доводя дело до крайности. Я и сам не стремился к смерти (Марченко 2). [context transl] Three months before I was arrested, my wife urged me not to go on a hunger strike, or at least not for an unlimited period. She bargained with me: "TVvo weeks is enough. Well, maybe three weeks...." I laughed and said I would be able to hold out for several months and would definitely quit before reaching a critical point. I had no desire to die (2a).
