Compare And Contrast Pizan And Machiavelli The Prince

You abide by their will, do what they want, speak when they want you to, and are basically there to just look beautiful and agree with your man. This shows, how women are not only oppressed and have an ideal image to live up too, but that some women are willing to accept these expectations, like Kate, who was once considered a “shrew” but is now the perfect wife. In retrospect, gender roles affect the characters negatively, because Kate ends up being the only woman who will obey because if she doesn’t she has to suffer. The Widow and Bianca however, believe the expectations they should follow are stupid which is why they don’t listen in the bet.

Cimorene really loves Linderwall also cimorene would really want to be saved by a prince. Also Cimorene she really acts like a princess she does what a princess does .’’I hate Linderwall’’.

A princess should act a certain way so that the barons and nobles like her. Its best for her that they like her because they can pray for her and praise her in sermons. A princess should try to be loved by everyone so when trouble comes her subjects can defend her. She should try to speak intelligently so she can gain respect.

Nevertheless, the Knight, the Queen, The King, and the old woman all wanted to receive the same thing, which in the tale not everyone receives the amount of power they want. The Knight was able to become powerful only to lose his power to the Queen. The King is powerless towards the Queen and the Knight, which means he cannot make decisions. Subsequently the Knight was punished, the old woman and the Knight eventually had equal power. Chaucer comments imply that men should be on equal ground with women by respecting and honoring them.

Here is a quote by Stevie Wonder, “If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love.” This is what people would usually say when they talk about their moms. Motherly love is the greatest gift which guides you and always supports you by your side. However, sometimes there are some special cases, and not every mother can be such caring and kind. For example, in William Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, there are two characters who both play roles as a mother to Juliet.

Machiavelli has the most correct ideas on both controlling the people as a ruler and on being remembered as a great one. These two viewpoints had great influence during their time and for centuries to come, both with modern ideas and correct ideas even though they had a lot of contrast. Machiavelli’s The Prince may be thought of the more recognizable of the two in the present, but people in the present day have many of the same ideas that

She uses multiple methods to convince him, including questioning his masculinity, using her power as his equal, and exploiting her trifecta of feminine qualities. By use of degradation, she prompts Macbeth to question his masculinity and respond defensively by assuring her that he “[dares] do all that may become a man” and that those “who [dare] do more [are] none” (1.7.51-51) When Lady Macbeth utilizes her status as his equal, she knows she possesses a direct channel into his decision-making process and uses this to fill him with an “appetite for personal success”, as it is referred to by

These three examples not only show how women were oppressed but that they also have idealized images and expectations to live up too. Moreover, Kate ended up being the only woman who would obey her husband. The only reason she did, however, was so she wouldn’t suffer any more of his mistreatment. The Widow and Bianca, however, believed the expectations they should follow were stupid. This is why they refused to listen to their spouses in the bet.

At the beginning of the play, Macbeth shows a large amount of affection towards his wife, who we see in her usual state of darkness. We are introduced to Lady Macbeth’s strong character, who desires power. She wants to ensure that Macbeth becomes King and when her husband has doubts, she tells him “Only look up clear. / To alter favor ever is to fear. / Leave all the rest to me.”

They have to figure out that they need to use each other to make everything come together even when times get hard and everything becomes scarce we need to work come together as one and realize what is actually happens. Also, they really understood what LOYALTY actually is, it is not just being with everyone it is relaying on everyone when everything does not go the expected way and working together to becoming a stronger team. So Odysseus finally come to a conclusion that loyalty is the best way to go. As they went through all the journeys they figure that they had to become as one because they figured out that the strength as one is much stronger that the strength of just a few who think they are better than everyone so they became a family as each journey they went through became harder. So Odysseus learns that loyalty is the best way to

Though many view Machiavelli as evil, his teachings are better seen as harsh and stable. Richard III has much to learn from Machiavelli, for his rule is unstable and overly oppressive. Machiavelli makes the distinction that one should either gain the subjects' approval or should crush them unforgivingly, two opposite extremes. Richard, however, switches between his type of ruling: somtimes he orders people to die, while other times he manipulates them, sparing their life. As Machiavelli teaches his audience in his book The Prince, if one hurts his subjects in a not fatal manner, they will strike back, seeking revenge; and this is exactly what happens to Richard.
