Wolsey was the dominant figure due to his sometimes false relationship with Henry. In source 7 we see how Henry puts Wolsey back into his rightful position as a servant but we then find out as Polydore Vergil puts it “he soon returned to his old ways” this shows how Wolsey would do want ever he wished to do but appeared to Henry as a loyal servant, showing how Wolsey could mislead Henry making him believe something that wasn’t true. Wolsey also “refused to speak to Henry” showing he was doing his own bidding doing what he wished and not going by the orders of Henry himself. In source 8 Wolsey is also shown as a dominant figure by being called, by Keith Randall “the head of the country’s legal system” showing he had a lot of power and responsibilities over many things within the country. Not only this but Wolsey’s domestic policies concentrated mainly on punishing the nobility especially when it came to justice and the enclosure issues of land being used for farming instead of housing.

Were it not for outside forces, he would have lived happily as Thane of Cawdor, an illustrious title in itself. Macbeth does not even want to kill King Duncan.

As soon as she hears about it, she calls on evil spirits to fill her full of cruelty so that she will the King if necessary.

In my opinion, due to how Egeus is treating Hermia, she should never agree to anything he says. He is her father but allowing a death penalty is just plain wrong. What I really can’t believe is Theseus letting this happen! Does he not have a heart? Is he not in love?
Tybalt, with his brutality and love for fights tend to be less trusted by the community. An example would be in Act 1 Scene 5 86-87 "Be quiet...For shame...I'll make you quiet" That is said by Lord Capulet when he told Tybalt not to fight Romeo, this is an excellent example that shows us that Lord Capulet does not trust Tybalt and has to blackmail and order him to stop what he is wanting to do. In contrast, Benvolio is very trusted and respected by the community. This can be shown in Act 2 Scene 5 150 "Benvolio, who began this bloody fray?" This was said after the Romeo and Tybalt fight, where Romeo slayed Tybalt and the Prince arrives at the scene.
The Morals of the Prince In "The Morals of the Prince," Niccolo Machiavelli argues the various methods of being a successful prince. He states that a prince cannot always be good, and if he wants to keep his post he must learn not to be good. Basically, Machiavelli states that if you are too generous, the non-generous people will take advantage of you and will take away your power. If a prince doesn't want to rob his people and avoid poverty, he must be a miser, or greedy. This is what keeps a prince in power.
