Compare and contrast Machiavelli and Hobbes on human nature, power, and the role of political institutions — by using Machiavelli’s “The Prince”, and Hobbes “Leviathan”
This is an exegetical essay, NOT a research essay. You should write your exegesis using only the required texts: Machiavelli: “The Prince”, and Hobbes: “Leviathan”. We are not looking for some other author’s reading of the assigned texts; we are looking for your readings of the texts. No secondary texts or sources are to be used.
