Machiavelli’s argument is based off of the idea that “it is more compassionate to impose harsh punishments on a few than out of excessive compassion, to allow disorder to spread” (536). To support his argument, Machiavelli cites several historical incidents of were being feared over loved benefited or saved a ruler’s position or his nation.…

was the person in charge. In Russia, the land’s most powerful leader was the prince and later the czar. Russia’s first major territory, Novgorod, was like a very small kingdom with a prince in charge. It was called a principality. In Russia’s feudal system there were also boyars, next in command to princes. Princes couldn’t take boyar’s land if it was given to them, making some of the boyars just as powerful as the prince. Nevertheless, this all changed after the rule of the Mongols. In 1237,…

incredible in its historical impact, has only existed in its present, unified form for less than 150 years. Over its short lifetime, Germany has enjoyed, and endured, a number of rulers, but none, perhaps, was so great an influence on modern Germany as Prince Otto von Bismarck the ‘Iron Chancellor’ of Germany. After hundreds of years of war, which stretched from the beginning of the ancient Roman Empire to the present time, Bismarck transformed the region of Germany…

There are many characters in this movie and the main characters that plays the main role in Maleficent is the Maleficent itself which is starred by Angelina Jolie. While the other…

Since the beginning of the Enlightenment period and perhaps even prior, the skepticism of the changing world into modernity has been presented by great minds throughout the world. The argument really comes down to a very broad argument of whether rapid change is benefiting the human race or causing its destruction. The argument encompasses many aspects and categories. Poetry and other works of literature have attempted to tackle these questions and also leave their views on which side they fall.…

characters in the scene see. In the frame, Romeo has just killed Tybalt. Mercutio is laying dead in the background with Benvolio standing over him. It looks like the characters are in an old building. Outside the frame, viewers can infer that the Prince is on his way to the scene and to calm the ruckus. In 'The Curse,' there is a feeling of harmony between each aspect of the painting, based on the fact that all the colors have a green undertone and are very neutral and earthlike tones. The…

caravel had two or three pole masts, lateen-rigged (i.e., with triangular sails). Afterwards, new versions added a fourth mast with square sail for running before the wind. Caravels were usually built with a double tower at the stern (aftermost part of the boat) or and a single tower in the bow (the front of the boat). In overall, caravels were smaller and lighter than the Spanish galleons that were later developed 16th…

diction of literally musical words to recall the musical nature of the Lady. For example while Sir Lancelot rides, his “bridle bells [ring] merrily” and “his blazon’d baldric [sings]” (III. 85, 87). This musical description, along with other fairytale-prince descriptions of Sir Lancelot, serves as an almost-alibi for the Lady’s breaking of her curse to follow him later in the poem. Even the writer Tennyson seems to agree, as he breaks his perfect repetition of the words “Camelot” and “Shalott”…
