Power in Shakespeare

Power has significantly marked the society w here(predicate) we ar in present-day(prenominal) development. Power is unrivalled of the best ways to require a society, yet it impacts the society in a negative way when it comes to distri besidesing rights and opportunities. That is, since it involves the worst issues within the government kn take as corruption. In William Shakespeares play, Richard III, and Aristophanes play, Lysistrata, some(prenominal) authors employ the major role and cin iodin casept of originator.Both Shakespeares and Aristophanes approach to exponent has influenced the accord of federal agency and by means of their exemplars one can employ their ideas as to wherefore sometimes I musical none placeless or indexful in my current life of a student. The views expressed by these authors are focused politically to power, which make people reflect on what power means this involves attraction and subjugates provocation. The power is so owing(p) that it clear out always be seen negatively. With power one can organize groups just now, there deprivations to be an authority.For example, like those with the political, economic, military or religious power. Yet, the problem comes when the abuse of power arises and when having too much power, the spirit can be corrupted. It is necessary that one should nurse a good stance when power comes into hand and one should see it as something to improve on kinda than to enhance on the small things that one does non need. Power should be seen as the ability to control to do the right thing and for that reason, be able to accomplish positive changes for the rest of the community.As a student, one has the ability to cook power or not to have power either by sitting in a regular classroom or beingness at the university in public. At the university, there are laws, sterilize holds and authority that unavoidably to be followed and for that reason a student could sometimes feel powerles s. For instance, there is a rule at FAU that a student cant be lacking from a class for a certain amount of days. The student is able to feel powerful because he or she has the ability to not go to class.Yet, once he or she r each(prenominal)es or passes the amount of days, the student will be automatically dropped out and in addition will receive a punishment for it. So a student can feel powerless because it has no otherwise prize but to go to the class just so he or she wouldnt get penalized. In other words, one could explain how polar styles of power could have similar characteristics through the norms and rules that exist today. For example, the power exerted from a government of any country must be abided by the people who inhabit it through compliance ith the same laws and standards. Also, the student of any university must in any case follow the same rules and laws established by the university. As you can see, this example represents a power running scheme of a major and minor scale, but with a similar goal, which is how to maintain order where there is always power. The penalty is always the consequence, that is, if you decide to shoot too much power into your own hands. If one has power, he or she should be able to manipulate it substantially enough to not let it go into the wrong hands.Similarly in Richard III, Shakespeare employs Hastings as a lord with honor who always remains loyal and trustworthy to the family. But when he provides all his trust and all his power to Richard, Richard ends up killing him. With power comes a consequence, and coinciding to this idea, that is why with power, corruption always occur. To that reason, a student will feel powerless because he or she has no other choice but to attend class. In order to be able to advance and be successful in class, you have to depend on your surroundings rather than self-advancement.One should be able to find peers and ask them what they did the whole class. Also, one is able t o get the notes and basically get everything of what the teacher did without being in class. This being said, a student will feel powerful entirely if they have their surroundings by the palm of their hand. If the student is going to use his or her power, it will need to depend on its surroundings in order to be able to get the power that he or she wants. As said by Shakespeare, Which done, deity register King Edward to his mercy, and leave the world for me to bustle in, for then Ill join Warwicks youngest daughter (5).At school, one cannot depend on himself or herself, but on the teacher and on the peers. In Shakespeare view, he is showing how Richard views his power and Richard needs his surroundings and his superiority in order to get to King Edwards throne. As for Aristophanes, Lysistrata would have never been able to succeed if she did not have the attention of the other women. Her use of manipulation helped her gain power and she was able to take back her man and bring pea ce to the city. In addition, manipulating is being able to handle, control, or use someone or something cleverly and skillfully for ones own advantage.A student can exercise the power to manipulate other students not to follow the rules or establish academic programs. Students who do not have responsibility and candor are able to induce other students not to follow their school schedule, for example the students class attendance. The students friends will recognise them to not attend class, go to the beach, or throw class just to miss it. And likewise, they are able to decrease the academic level in their classes because they use up no responsibility and maturity with the commitment to remain in a stark institution such as a university.These students still depend on their parents and since they know their parents will pay everything for them, they get low self-esteem and they wont be able to value themselves and appreciate what they have. For this reason, they are people who ha ve no responsibility and have no commitment when it comes to effort and it will be reflected once they attend the university. Therefore, that is why they influence other students to do the same. Aristophanes explains how the women were able to manipulate the power and strength of their husbands and warriors, exerting some manipulation of their womanhood and wife.Similarly, Shakespeare speaks of Elizabeths power over King Edward. By then, Richard is seeing the king as being weak and being handled by women. Why, this it is, when men are ruled by women my peeress Grey his wife, Clarence, tis she that tempers him to this extremity (Shakespeare 3). Comparing the previous texts, a student to a certain extent, can manipulate by being able to respect and impose the university rights. For example, receiving an academic background in the area specified and chosen by the student and freely expressing its ideas and not being able to get punished because of them.This is why universities should take responsibility to train professionals and specialists in various areas of knowledge, as well as the formation of authentic citizens with moral and ethical responsibilities committed to the social truthfulness around them. In Lysistrata, the women had a hard time being comprehend by the town and similarly, I have that same problem with my life as a college student. Just as the commissioner said in Lysistrata, you expect me to take orders from a woman. Id die first (Aristophanes 91).The men during that era did not take the women into consideration and they were never taken into account. They were always ignored and predominated the power of men. Aristophanes portrayed the women into another new level by giving them the importance that they needed. Although they were only valued as a house wife, Aristophanes took into consideration how important call forth is in the life of men, and gave power to the women using their ingenuity. Due to the fact that FAU has a great amount of t udents not only in the school in general but in the classes as well, the profs cannot provide a personalized education for each student. For that reason, that is why students sometimes feel ignored. It is very complicated for a professor to dictate a class with an abundance of students and the time assigned by the university because it limits them to give just a general class. In the other hand, it is not the professors fault but it is the universitys in general as to why most students are ignored. It is up on our time to go to the professors office hours just to have a conversation from person to person.People usually ask what they have to do in order to get to power while having the connections and influences and at the same time being a normal and unremarkable person. For me, the answer or explanation to this question is due to my presence here at Florida Atlantic University because it is obtained through preparation, school work, and knowledge. For that reason, there is a fa mous contrive said by nearly everyone today that knowledge is power. Yet, through the knowledge that I gain, I have the ability and power to make my own decisions.Power in ShakespearePower has significantly marked the society where we are in current development.
