3. Reality and appearances‚ or if you prefer‚ being and acting‚ are important themes for both Machiavelli and Shakespeare. Why? How do their perspectives on this subject agree or differ? APPEARANCE vs. REALITY IN "THE PRINCE" AND "HAMLET" One of the most fundamental questions in philosophy is the appearance vs. reality. We find ourselves asking the question of what is genuinely "real‚" and what is viewed merely as just an "appearance‚" and not real? It becomes difficult when we assume there is

Never has this been more evident than in Shakespeare’s playwright Hamlet portrayed through several characters. Hamlet is a play solely revolving around revenge. With the play being based on revenge it needs to have characters who are not what they seem to be. This brings in the appearance vs. reality factor in Hamlet. Every character has something to
