Surprisingly, I agree with every single point in Niccolo
Machiavelli’s The Qualities of the Prince. After reading this article, a quote,
which is from Stan Lee, the writer of Spiderman, appears in my head. “With
great power, comes great responsibility”. A prince is the next ascendant of the
throne. He has the responsibility to rule, and to protect the lives of millions
of citizen. We can consider “prince” as a work position. People may think a
prince is given too many rights and privileges, but let’s consider them as the
wage and benefits of his job. Ordinary people can separate their jobs and their
lives. They can get out of their jobs completely after their working hours, but
for a prince, he has to work unstop, 24 hours a day. Sometimes I feel sorry for
the prince. Every action he does will be the attention of the people. When he
did something good, people would not appreciate too much because they think it
is the prince’s responsibility to do so. However if he did something wrong,
people would blame on and give the prince a lot of pressure. The saddest point
of this is that the “wrong doings” of a prince are not even wrong. They are
wrong are only because they go against the people’s will.
