Paper Summary:
The paper offers an examination of a king's divine right through two works of literature: Shakespeare's drama "Macbeth" and Machiavelli's "The Prince." The paper discusses the nature of kingship and how both works express the sentiment that a ruler must do whatever is necessary to remain in power and maintain order."From the Paper:
"The essential argument for the simplification of the king's status as a special subject informs - and no doubt is informed by - Renaissance drama's exploration of the nature of kingship. One obvious example would of course be Macbeth, but we can also see echoes of the argument in Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince.""More papers on The Divine Right of Kings:
