Mercy and Cruelty: Is it Better to Be Loved or Feared?


Description

In this first lesson of the unit, students read and analyze the first two paragraphs of chapter 17 of Niccolò Machiavelli’s The Prince to identify central ideas, including ideas about the values of mercy and cruelty for a prince and about whether it is better for a prince to be loved or feared. Students examine Machiavelli’s use of specific details to support his ideas.
