Niccolo Machiavelli first recorded involvement in the fugitive Florantine political scene happened in 1498. This occurred when he helped the political faction that impeached Girolamo Savaralona (an Italian Dominican friar and preacher active in Renaissance Florence), instead of the dominant religious and political figure in Florence. He became a chancellor and secretary of the “Ten of Liberty and Peace” (government agency). Machiavelli was abolished from office, was out in jail and tortured for his well-known republican sentiments and banished to his country. While he was recovering from all of this, he began writing the small body of political writings that protected his literary immorality.
This was the same time period in which he had penned many of his successful tragedies including Othello, Julius Caesar, Macbeth, and King Lear. Many believe that Shakespeare’s one and only son Hamnet Shakespeare’s death in 1596 was the source of his non-stop series of tragedies, but no one knows for sure. To recognize Shakespeare’s exceptional skill of targeting his audience, this essay will focus on the specific soliloquy in Hamlet found in act four, scene four. This final soliloquy commonly known as “How all occasions do inform against me,” can be found from lines 35 to 68 in the specified act and scene.

In this book he suggested from his research that criminals were biologically determined, a physical type with specific characteristics that differentiates them from others, and throwbacks to earlier forms of evolutionary life (Newburn 2007).

Before publishing ‘The Criminal Man’, Lombroso famously conducted a study on the physical and mental characteristics of 400 Italian soldiers and 90 ‘lunatics’, examining and comparing them. He concluded there were a selection of specific characteristics setting criminals apart from others and stated that they were a ‘sub-species’.
