Machiavelli possible opion on Macbeth

I would think that Machiavelli would respect Macbeth`s ways. Because Macbeth has many angles to cover he knows how to manipulate people into doing his dirty work for him and make himself look like the victim so he is not a suspect.If anybody had actually read Machiavelli`s book they would understand that to rule you have to work many different angles. A quote from Machiavelli is "if you want something let nothing stand in your way". Like what Macbeth is doing he wants to be king so nothing is going to stand in his way even if it means killing people (boy what determination). So yeah I would say Machiavelli would say that Macbeth is a pretty good leader. 

King Duncan

King Duncan was a honorable king. He cared very much about his people. That may have been good for his followers but a king who cares too much and does not raise an iron fist now and then should be considered a dead king because if you are nice your people will follow you. But also if you are nice other kingdoms or your followers will think you are weak so you are susceptible to assassinations because you are too much of a wimp to do anything. So king Duncan may have been a good man but he is too much of a wimp to not to get assassinated.

leader

The type of leader that is most effective type of leader for me is a leader that does not underestimate any person he is leading. Because in the past I have been in groups were the self ignited leader only picked people he knew for important strategies instead of asking anyone else in the group for a more effective strategy or having people outside the circle doing anything because the reason why people hang outside the group is because they don`t feel included so they don`t do anything even though they could have more skill than anyone their. So the kind of leader for me is the one that will use all of his resources for anything. I would say that Machiavelli would be a great leader. Because he had strategies that always worked he knew how to make a prince successful and how to take is enemies down and making sure they stayed down. He had strategies that would help today`s leaders. His ways of taking power were the right ways unlike every leader today. he knew what to do and to use everything he can. So thats why he`s the kind of leader for me.

Machiavelli

Machiavelli he was an old philosopher a long time ago he was very smart he has many quotes that can help you with many things whether its making a kingdom follow every word you say or destroying or protecting kingdoms everywhere. My opinion on one of Machiavelli`s best quotes was "in order lead you must be able to command" . Because when you lead an army or a kingdom or even in a camping trip if you want people to follow you must know how to command them and that could happen in many ways like hitting with a large tree branch or even saying pretty please but what does matter is if they follow you so some people all you have to do is say please but for others you may have to bop them upside the head till they fear you then they will follow you so their are many ways for different to make your followers obedient you just have to find your way. The teachers say you have to find a quote that would not help any leaders in any way but their is no Machiavelli quote that is bad every quote has a purpose some quotes are better than others but they all have one thing in common they all have a purpose and advice that will help you in a way. For Pizarro I would recommend is the one i just mentioned in order to lead one most know how to command. Because instead of throwing a bible in the Incas leaders face he should of figured out a way to command or reason with him so then Pizarro would not have to kill the 80,000 people he could reason then command the Incas so everyone could win but not the Incas as much.
