Prince Humperdinck

In Machiavelli’s The Prince, there are several guidelines that a ruler must follow in order to achieve success. A ruler must be willing to do anything possible to ensure that the state survives, while maintaining his reputation. A ruler can not be inclined to be moral, as doing so would endanger the state and the people. He must not be loved, but rather feared to maintain power and have the respect of his people. Force must be used to restore discipline, order and well-being. A ruler must…

Imagine forgetting your lunch at home and you think to yourself no-one can bring it to you. Then you get called down to the office and there's your lunch box. My sister was born in 1999 in Ludington Michigan. She has lived here her whole and has explored the many wonders of Michigan. But most of all she puts others before herself, she's caring, and grateful. That's why she is my Michigan hero. One reason she is my Michigan hero is she puts others before herself. My sister just recently moved…

certain Danish prince are entirely appropriate to this dazzlingly presumptuous drama, set in and around Buckingham Palace in a highly foreseeable future. True, as a product of the 20th century, the newly anointed King Charles — whom you probably know better as the current Prince of Wales — would seem to have more in common with T S. Eliot’s muddling J. Alfred Prufrock, who sadly recognized he was not “Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be.” Yet as portrayed…

I sat down on the wilted grass. I remembered from years past long before I forfeited my life to crime. Back then I still had a few transgressions on my record, but it wasn't like my record now. Three counts of armed robbery, more robbery charges, and more charges of murder than any man should have on his conscience. My conscience constantly reminded me that it's not normal. “Do you remember what happened here?” my conscience nagged as he sat down on the grass beside me. His bright, gleaming…

be free and politicians should only intervene when it was necessary. He states,” keeping people unaware that they are being governed, the leader allows the people to achieve good things for themselves.” On the contrary, Machiavelli’s leader is a prince. He thinks that people must be strongly governed. Though, he also believes in having greatness and is only worried about winning the war and being focused on the war. He is much less worried about his people than the way of Lao-Tzu government.…

The Prince also reflects humanism as Machiavelli was writing during a period when humanism was the dominant intellectual force of the era. The dominance of humanism influenced humanist writings on the topic of advising a prince. He wrote in the mirror of princes genre that can be traced back to antiquity. Felix…

Written in the excerpt from The Morals of the Prince, Niccolo Machiavelli, being a political philosopher of the Renaissance, analyzes the ideal qualities and the real qualities of princes. According to his excerpt, paragraph seven lies under the subtitle “On Cruelty and Clemency: Whether It Is Better To Be Loved or Feared”. Base on the subtitle, it can be inferred that the following sections will discuss whether a prince should be loved or feared by his people. In paragraph seven of the excerpt,…

deep enough into their works shows that they also had striking similarities in what they viewed as flaws or faults in leadership. “I conclude that since men love at their own inclination but can be made to fear at the inclination of the prince, a shrewd prince will lay his foundations on what is under his own control.” For Nicollo Machiavelli, the general idea behind…

The prince became furious as no one listened to his command. He bolted towards the man in the mask. He chased after him through all seven chamber until finally the masked man stopped in the seventh chamber. The prince stopped and just stared, expecting something, anything. The masked man turned around and stared the prince in his eyes. The man put his finger to his lips and held them there for a moment. Then reached for his mask, he had no face; it was pure evil, pure darkness. The prince…

Love and Other Catastrophes: A Mix Tape was written by Amanda Brown in 2002. Although, in this case, the story cannot accurately be described as “written” or even a “story.” The work consists of a number of songs, arranged in a way so that the titles, when read consecutively, tells a story. The main point of the story, presumably, is to illustrate the cyclic nature of love, considering the fact that the mixtape starts and ends with the same song. However, the mixtape is poorly assembled,…
