Read this passage from chapter 5 of The Prince.
What is Machiavelli's primary purpose in writing this
passage?
There are, for example, the Spartans and the Romans. The
Spartans held Athens and Thebes, establishing there an
oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. The Romans, in
order to hold Capua, Carthage, and Numantia, dismantled
them, and did not lose them. They wished to hold Greece
as the Spartans held it, making it free and permitting its
laws, and did not succeed. So to hold it they were
compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in
truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by
ruining them. And he who becomes master of a city
accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may
expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always
the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a
rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever
cause it to forget. And whatever you may do or provide
against they never forget that name or their privileges
to inform readers about the history of Rome and Sparta
and how they built their empires
to inform readers about the fates of the cities conquered
by the Spartans and the Romans
to persuade readers that a conquering prince must
destroy a former republic if he hopes to hold it
to persuade readers that a republic will remember
freedom and someday rebel against a conqueror

What does the author see as the main cause for why students don’t really see shakespeare as a real, flawed human being? we shouldn’t shy away from discussing our literary heroes’ flaws. if nothing else, the knowledge of their failures us appreciate what success and greatness these authors did achieve. often our hero-worship keeps us from truly seeing the complexity of a great author. thus, i would argue, nothing would be better for high school students than to take shakespeare down a peg or two. a) the fact that students never learn enough about shakespeares biography b) the fact that students only read shakespeare’s comedies while in school c) the fact that students are never assigned to read any shakespeare while in high school d) the fact that students only read shakespeare’s greatest works in school and thus never see his weaknesses
