Presentation transcript:

The Tragedy of Julius Caesar meets Renaissance England

Machiavelli and The Prince What were Machiavelli’s major principles and ideas? As a leader, is it best to be feared or loved? The answer: Feared! “it is more secure to be feared than loved” Why? “Men are ingrates, fickle, deceivers…” This means men are great as long as things are going well, but once things go bad, then they will only do what’s best for them.

From Machiavelli’s own words: “love is a bond of obligation which men—sad creatures that they are—break on the first occasion touching their own interests; but fear binds by a threat of punishment which never relaxes.”

What would the characters in Caesar think? Think of the four main characters that experience power: Caesar, Cassius, Brutus and Antony. Analyze their personality and evidence from the play. Who would agree or disagree with Machiavelli? Defend. Record your answers.

Oliver Cromwell circa 1648 Political Theories “I do not therefore think the authorities may do anything [they want], and yet such obedience be due, but all agree there are cases in which it is lawful to resist.” Sometimes when the government asks too much, you should resist.

When should a person resist? The safety of the people Whether or not it be safe or goes completely against conscience Which characters from Julius Caesar would agree with Cromwell? Defend and record your answers.

Key points of Elizabethan England What did Queen Elizabeth bring to England during her reign (1558-1603)? Helped the poor – provided the Poor Relief Act of 1601 Brought peace to England Helped expand trade Brought prosperity and a more comfortable life style even to the lower class Proud supporter of the arts – known for accomplishments in art, literature and science
