Paper Summary:

This paper compares and also contrasts the qualities associated with Machiavelli's "Prince" and Castiglione's "Courtier", in the events that took place in the Renaissance period. The paper studies Machiavelli's views of power and control as opposed to Castiglione's view of what characteristics the ideal Prince should possess.

From the Paper:

"The Renaissance was a period during which significant creative and intellectual energies were being put forth across a range of different enterprises, from the visual arts and literature to the sciences, politics and social interactions. In Castiglione's "The Courtier" and Machiavelli's "The Prince" we find two disparate treatises; the former on courtiers and the latter on princes."
