Niccolo Machiavelli is best known for being a political philosopher but was also a playwright. He wrote pieces, such as, “The Prince”, which was written in 1513 and published in 1532. Machiavelli wrote “The Prince” to teach the importance of history and the political behavior of the Greeks and Romans. He also clearly added, “that rulers could maintain their power only by resorting to immoral tactics and strategies” (Magstadt, 109).
