It is definitely a different text from the ones we observed before. It shows various themes that Machiavelli emphasizes multiple times throughout the story. One of them, is definitely the theme of manipulation, where Machiavelli endorses the “lying part”. He states that lying is good, just make sure to don’t get caught.
Machiavelli is definitely not concerned about ethics and morality. The other strong theme that comes out of the text is, the theme of “violence”. The violence in the story is used to get safety, honor and fulfillment and as Machiavelli says “better to be feared than loved”, that is the point of view of a good leader for Machiavelli. He also says that is good to do bad things but just don’t go too far otherwise people hate you
