The Machiavellian Umbridge (Part 1: Entering Hogwarts as a Teacher)
The Prince is a book written by Niccolò Machiavelli, and it outlines the qualities exemplified in a worldly-minded, corrupt leader. The sole reason for any descision made is for the benefit of the Prince, and all actions are commited with underlying deciet and master trickery. That being said, a couple months ago I wondered at the similarities between Machiavelli's Prince character and Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter. It's not surpising in a sense, because J. K. Rowling has a nack for effotlessly creating a very diverse character entourage to serve the storyline, and I thought this would be a good time to write up a mini-biography on the key events of Dolores Umbridge's life in the book The Order of the Phoenix. Dolores Umbridge is a corrupt Ministry witch in a position of great power. She enters the book at the scene of Harry Potter's trial, and at once she communicates a negative attitude, added to but not subject to her ghastly appearance. &qu
