The prince and the pauper

Article Abstract:

Nicolo Machiavelli was in addition to what he is more noted for a comic playwright. Machiavelli went into a self-imposed exile in the country because he could not find favor with the Medicis. He wrote his two comic plays 'Clizia' and 'The Mandrake' there. Institutions such as law, politics and the church come in for comedic treatment. The comedic device of disguise is also much used. Machiavelli was able to see the comedic elements of life as well as the more serious which he treats of in 'The Prince.'
