=GENERAL CLASS COMMENT ON MACHIAVELLI THESES=

=When the class drafted Machiavelli theses, most of you focused on describing only "The Prince" __or__ the Renaissance and then simply asserted that the undescribed element was like the part you had described. That approach misses the mark. You are essentially being asked to compare //The Prince// and the Renaissance. To do so, you must specifically address __both__ in your thesis and in your essay. After all, you cannot compare two things unless both have been clearly defined. Here is an example of how you could accomplish this. It is not the only way, nor necessarily the best way, but it does accomplish the goal of explicitly addressing all the categories and both points of comparison with specific evidence.= = =
 * = Machiavelli’s "The Prince” is an almost perfect reflection of the Italian Renaissance. Politically, Machiavelli’s insistence on ruthless preservation of power by any means necessary typifies the cut-throat competition of Renaissance Italy while, socially, his emphasis on the power of a strong ruler to shape and control his destiny exemplifies the Renaissance concept of individual virtu. However, most importantly, Machiavelli’s shocking claim that rulers should disregard the rules of Christian conduct signals the growing secularism of the Renaissance and its de-emphasis (although by no means the complete elimination) of religion. =
