Authors and Works
Mr. Korte's favorite author in the whole world, the man who he aspires to be, but realistically will never live up to; incredibly talented and skilled in language (unlike Mr. Korte), wrote a bunch of plays, super historically knowledgeable and accurate (also unlike Mr. Korte), made 1700 new AMAZING words. What a champion (get it?)
Shakespeare❤️
Most famous work of Machiavelli, instructs a ruler on how to lead well, public vs private morality, reputation vs action, fear>love, ends justify means, probably written for Medici, banned by the Church
The Prince
Sonnets of poetry to show beauty and love, one of the best examples of English Sonnets, written by Spenser
Amoretti
Written by Thomas More, satire about perfect society: commercial ownership, equality, religious tolerance, limited luxury, education for all, democratic government; loved by stupid commies for all the wrong reasons
Utopia
Book by Milton, English epic poem, features the Fall of Man, biblical w/ personal twist, many anti-Catholic undertones, banned by Church
Paradise Lost
One of the most important theatres in London, all of Shakespeare's plays were performed there, burned down in 1613 (most likely orchestrated by a certain person whose name starts with K and ends with -orte, out of sheer jealousy and envy)
The Globe Theatre
6 books between 1590-1596 (supposed to be 12), allegory for the virtues + vices shown by adventuring knights, seen as one of the greatest works of English literature, written by Spenser
The Faerie Queene
Class of 2027 Valedictorian
Mary Grace Moleski
A negative term in politics, willing to do anything to get ahead
Machiavellian
Bonus because I ran out of real questions: What was the name of my hip surgery?
Periacetabular Osteotomy
