From Machiavelli's The Prince, would he consider Creon(From Antigone) an ideal prince?

absolutely. Creon used and manipulated his nephews to take the throne after Oedipus blinded himself and Jocasta commited suicide. He stirred the pot when they argued about whose time it was to be the ruler. When Eiticles and Polinices killed each other he chose one as the victor just to get on with it. He manipulated his son to marry one of Oedipuses Daughters so that it would give a legitimacy to the throne when his son took over. When Creons wife took her life when their son killed himself over the loss of Antigone he went back to work.

i've got no longer for my area examine "The Prince" yet, yet i understand that Machiavelli believed that worry replaced into extra efficient for a pacesetter to apply (as a replace of love), and that i do no longer precisely think of Barack Obama is somebody to worry.
