    The Prince is by far Machiavelli's most well known and important work. In 1513, after his exile from Florence, Machiavelli began this great work.

Machiavelli's work has long been infamous for what some consider its harsh, unscrupulous methods of obtaining po...

M...

  • Machiavelli's The Prince
    702 words
    Is The Phrase The Ends Justify The Means A Useful Summary Of Machiavelli The Prince In Machiavelli's 'The Prince' it would appear, at first, that Machiavelli is advancing the argument that 'the ends justify the means'. However, I am unsure that this is a useful summary of 'The Prince' and that it may be an over simplification and even a misunderstanding. 'The Prince' has been condemned for promoting fraud, force, and immorality in politics, justifying the use of evil means by a beneficial end. I...

  • Cinderella And The Handsome Prince

So many of the early versions of the tale boasted a very resourceful young woman who played an active role in her destiny. Perrault, however wrote his Cinderella as a well-mannered, docile, selfless women who woul...
