What is the nature of war according to Machiavelli and in the thought of the Utopians? You might consider, for example, the texts’ messages about what war (i.e., military conflict between armies and soldiers) is like, how it functions, why it is important, how people should engage in it, and when. Write an argumentative, thesis-based essay in which you compare or contrast the views on war presented in the texts. The comparison should focus either on critical differences between the views presented or on key similarities between them, but not both. Although you may at the outset very briefly note that there are various similarities between the two works (in an essay that focuses on differences) or certain differences between them (in an essay that focuses on similarities), do not attempt to comprehensively address both differences and similarities in this short essay.
