Lesson Overview: The Architecture of Power
The lesson moves students away from simple plot retrieval toward conceptualized analysis. By examining the tension between a King’s “Two Bodies” (the fallible human vs. the immortal symbol), students learn to view the protagonist not just as a character, but as a disruption of the natural order.
Core Components
Contextual “Stretch”: The Divine vs. The Machiavellian
The Divine Right: We explore the Jacobean belief that a monarch was God’s deputy on Earth. Students examine the Great Chain of Being, understanding that regicide was viewed as an act of “sacrilege” that caused the natural world to descend into chaos (e.g., horses eating each other, darkness at noon).
The Machiavellian Realist: Contrast is drawn with the “new” political philosophy of the era—that power is seized through cunning and strength rather than inherited by grace.
