Machiavelli anodavira kuti ndiani anoenzanisira mavara omuchinda wechokwadi muThe Prince, uye nei ane ichi chitendero?
Mubhuku raMachiavelli rinonzi The Prince, Machiavelli anorondedzera zvakadzama kuti muchinda chaiye anofanira kutonga nyika yavo kusvika papi kuti ave nechokwadi chokuti vanhu vayo vanomuteerera uye vanomutonga. Anotsanangura zvinhu zvakawanda zvinodiwa uye mabasa omuchinda, ayo anoenzanisira murugwaro rwose achishandisa mifananidzo yakasiyana-siyana, mumamiriro ezvinhu akanaka uye akaipa. Munhoroondo yose yeThe Prince, mumwe munhu, uyo Machiavelli anojekesa kuti anomuremekedza zvikuru, achisimbisa kakawanda, ndiCesare Borgia uyo anotoreva nezvake nechinzvimbo chakaenzana nechiyero chaMwari achishevedzera kuti "paivapo munhu mumwe akaratidza kuratidzwa kwehukuru... izvo zvakaita kuti ufunge kuti akatumwa naMwari" (26).

Mukutsvaka kuti ndiani chaizvoizvo anoenzanisira kurondedzerwa kwa"Muchinda", kazhinji kazhinji kunoratidzika kuva Cesare Borgia kubva mukurumbidzwa kukuru kwaMachiavelli, asi chaizvoizvo ikoku hakusati kuri kwakadaro. Panzvimbo pezvo, zita rokuti "Muchinda" nderomumwe munhu akachenjera zvikuru: Ferdinand weAragon, Mambo weSpain. Kubatanidza uku kunoitwa nemhaka yezvakapesana zvakawanda izvo Machiavelli anoita mukurumbidza Cesare Borgia nevamwe vanhu vanokosha murugwaro, nepo zvakawanda zvinokosha zvomuchinda wechokwadi izvo Machiavelli anotaura nezvazvo zvisingapokanidzwi naFerdinand. Machiavelli anoenzanisira dzidziso dzake kupfurikidza nezviito zvaCesare Borgia zvinoratidzwa muchitsauko 7 apo Cesare Borgia akakunda nyika yeRomagna: pakarepo kupwanya muvengi achishandisa utsinye hukuru, achishandisa mbudzi yorudzikinuro kupinganidza ruvengo kubva kwaari, uye pakupedzisira kuuraya mbudzi yorudzikinuro kusika pfungwa yesimba nokutya mukati mevagari vemunyika itsva. Izvi zviito, izvo zvinotsanangura chikonzero nei achinamatwa zvikuru naMachiavelli, hazvipfuuri pasina chokwadi chokuti vamwe  unhu hunokosha hwaCesare Borgia hunopesana zvakananga nepfungwa yaMachiavelli youmambo hwakasimba zvikurusa. Muenzaniso mukuru ndewokuti sei <unk>Cesare Borgia... akawana nyika yake mukati mokusimuka kwababa vake, uye pakuderera kwayo akairasa<unk> (7). Nhaka sezviri pachena inoda nhamburiko shoma zvikuru kana ichienzaniswa nokusika umambo hutsva. Kunyange zvazvo Cesare Borgia achizokunda umambo hutsva, zvinogona kufungidzirwa kuti kukwira kwake musimba kuburikidza nepfuma yababa vake kwakanga kuri chinhu chinokosha uye hakuratidzi unhu hwakanaka hwomuchinda akanaka. Vamwe vanhu vanotaurwa mubhuku racho vanorumbidzwawo pamusana pokukwanisa kwavo kutungamirira, asi vachiri kushaya unhu hunofanira kuva namambo akanaka. Vanhu ava vanosanganisira Pope Julius II, uyo simba rake rinosimbiswa naMachiavelli muchitsauko 13 kuti rinoenderana nehupfumi kwete nevirtù muhondo yake yekukunda, Pope Alexander VI, uyo kunyangwe achiratidza hunyanzvi hwekugona kuunza humambo hweKaturike pakupedzisira kutonga nesimba, akazviita nerubatsiro rwekutanga rwekupihwa zita remadunhurirwa nemari kubva kuChechi yeRoma Katurike nababamunini vake Alonso. Zvisinei, mumwe munhu anotevera pfungwa dzaMachiavelli zvikuru uye anoenzanisira nheyo dzomuchinda wechokwadi mukutanga kwake, achisiya anenge asina zvikanganiso mukukwira kwake kuti ave muchinda wechokwadi: Ferdinand weAragon. Unhu hwaFerdinand hunoita kuti apiwe zita rokuti "Muchinda" asi unhu hunokosha ndihwo hunomusiyanisa nevamwe: kusimuka kwake kuti ave nesimba.

Ikoku kunooneka zvikuru mukukwira kwaFerdinand kuva mutungamiriri mune izvo Machiavelli anomurondedzera sa"[kukwira], kupfurikidza nomukurumbira nembiri, kubva pakuva mambo asina basa kuva mambo mukuru muchiKristudhomu" (21).
