    The Prince was certainly not satire. He wrote it to Lorenzo de Medici with the intention of being hired as his advisor. The entire book is specific instructions of how to rule for this very purpose. Of course he wasn’t hired, since the book boils down to “be as duplicitous as you can be to get what you want.”
