FREE ESSAY ON MACHIAVELLI AND THE GOOD LIFE

MACHIAVELLI AND THE GOOD LIFE

Machiavelli's The Prince is an outstanding book. It presents the theme of how to live the
good life and be a good Prince. The good Prince is someone who is never afraid. He lives
the good life by scaring other people. Machiavelli talks about how the Prince is someone
who knows how to be a governor. He says, If you want to be a good Prince, then you should
be a good Prince. (p. 45) My thesis is that the good life comes from being a good
Prince.
Machiavelli was one time an Italian. But there was no Italy. He was living in a place
called Italy, which was in Florence. He lived the good life.
I think that today when people live the good life, they call it like pimping. Like we
said in class, being head of Italy (or Florence) was being like a Pimp Daddy. That's kind
of what Machiavelli was about, which reminds us of the rapper Machiavelli. I think that
the good life is like Pimping.
In conclusion, the Prince is a pimp.
