    Prospero in Shakespeare’s "The Tempest" fits the description of a Machiavellian Prince. He is cunning‚ conspires‚ and schemes‚ and has a tremendous amount of power throughout the whole work. Prospero’s Magical powers give a fairytale-like quality to the work‚ which he uses to his advantage to become the most powerful character in the work‚ controlling the destiny of all the characters in the play. He was unrightfully overthrown as the Duke of Milan by his also scheming Machiavellian

    “The Qualities of the Prince” Niccolo Machiavelli’s essay‚ “The Qualities of the Prince” is a very interesting piece of literary work that has an atypical way of depicting the qualities of a successful leader. Machiavelli developed a way of thinking that changes the human perspective on what a quality leader is made of. He took what people were afraid to say aloud and voiced it in a way that almost unraveled the truth about what people in power were really like. Machiavelli comes to a junction

    The Prince was written in the 1500’s by Niccolo Machiavelli‚ whom name became a synonym for crafty plotting. As noted‚ it is a political and social document‚ as relevant today as when it first appeared.
