There is an important social issue discussed in the story that is the fact of the social hierarchy, where the king is on top of it and the jester is submitted to the king’s power. In addition, this perk that gets the king for his position, permits him to make whatever he wants with his plebeians. Actually, this story is based on the revenge that Hop Frog takes over the king and his ministres for making exactly that, abusing of his power and mistreating Trippeta (the love of his life). I must say that this point completely depends on which site you place. For instance, if you take the king’s position, your greatest challenges were to lead the country; jointly with his ministers. Nonetheless, the way these characters are described, it does not seem to me that they give much thought to improve the economic system or to make any improvements in the country. Moreover, they passed the time keeping amused and entertained. …show more content…
He is forced to amuse the king and his ministers and to make those cruel actions they compel him to make. For example, that time they obligate him to drink wine just to watch him get drunk due to he has no tolerance to alcohol. From where I stand, he has to take so much with all the insults of his phisical inability and the zero tolerance to alcohol. Even though, I do not believe the revenge, as the one he has planned, is the best issue to do in these cases. From my point of view, it seems that obviously the jeker (Hop Frog) has a great feeling of inferiority and difusion about himself for the continues insults and negative feedbacks. That in consequence, it evolves to revenge and rage towards the king and his ministers. The reason why this has happened is that he gets truly obsessed with the horrible actions they made on Trippeta and focused on a way to “return the

The role that King Louis XIV plays in Tartuffe, although not a character himself, affects the whole outcome of the play. King Louis XIV was an absolute monarch and was responsible for restoring order in society. The age of reason, 1660-1805, was a time to restore order while finding humor in those who stray away from order. King Louis was responsible for ensuring the safety and order of the country, and we come to learn that his power spreads much further than suspected. By divine right and being an offstage presence, King Louis XIV has the ability to control and assist everyone, whether it is warranted or not.

The analogy from Sieyès’ perspective is the idea that citizens think it is “unfair” for the kings or leaders to have such power that it would use its power for personal gain rather for the sake of the citizens and government. This is not to say that Sieyès hates the nobility, but the injustice against citizens is that the privileged, or nobility, laughs at the citizens because they [the citizens] can
The skills most important to obtaining power and leading effectively are the skills that deteriorate once we have power. In most cases true leaders won’t abuse the power that they are given and they will use it for the better good. If it gets into the wrong hands then it’s more then likely to be used in a selfish way. The play is about a soldier who wants to be king because a couple of witches told him his fate. He planned to overrule the kingdom and after he did that he had everything, but it just wasn’t enough.
The creature’s isolation also drove him to madness and rage, and as the character developed he made a few decisions that he would later regret in his creators deathbed. Ambition is a form of greed, which can lead a person to want to accomplish their goal and forget about everything else that is important in their lives. It is important to always have time with your family and friends. They always are there to listen, advise and support you in
1. The Renaissance recognized that authority had a dual nature: auctoritas, which represents power as the source and giver of bounty, and potestas, which represents power as rule by sheer force and tyranny. All of the plays we have dealt with this semester have been concerned, either implicitly or explicitly, with this dualism. Look at the plays we have studied this semester and discuss how authority is portrayed in the plays.
To the king, Hop Frog was “both a jester to laugh with, and a dwarf to laugh at” (Poe 2). The king made fun of him every chance he got, which could not have

This scene is vital for understanding the play’s exploration of the politics of the nobility and the interpersonal relationships of men. Our group considered Act 3 Scene 2 essential to the comprehension of the development of Prince Hal in relation to his father, King Henry IV. However, more context is needed to understand the pair’s progression throughout the play. In the opening scenes, both Henry and Hal establish their views of the
Imagine being stranded on an inhabited island with a bunch of other kids and no adults. It could seem fun at first. But that feeling won’t last long, at least not in the case of Lord of the Flies. In an attempt to avoid the inevitable, the kids apoint a leader, trying to restore society’s rules and avoid chaos. In Lord of the Flies, the boys democratically institute a ‘chief’.
In Shakespeare’s, Hamlet, revenge plays a major role in how the characters act. They base their actions off of getting revenge. Hamlet, Laertes, and Young Fortinbras all are trying to get revenge for their fathers. All three of the characters use different methods for getting revenge and they all get different results. Shakespeare uses these three characters to show that revenge can consume you and that is all that you want and he shows how harmful it can be.
Correspondingly, in the beginning, when the prince has problems with the Christ’s Hospital boys mocking him, he would attempt to resolve it with a prideful royal edict. Furthermore, when he learned of his father 's death the former king, he immediately fills with pride from the thought “how grand and strange it seems – I AM KING!” Conversely, when the new venerable king finds acceptance in the home of a good wife, he humbles himself to the family level while eating breakfast, instead of being imperious requiring her family
