machiavells show creativity in their scheming

milton’s creativity

• opening of pl talks about milton’s whole creative process

• “dictates to me slumbering…” book 9

• the creative process itself

creativity in punishment

• satan

• lightborne’s creative punishments

both authors work creatively with their source material

• marlowe uses holinshed - telescoping things that are years apart, she wolf, compressing the play, creating a sense of pride coming before the fall, displaying mirror of magistrates on stage, eii very early history play (theatre opens in 1577, only 20 years old when this happens), prose and rhyme, shakespeare will come along and use this to write richard ii, theres no acts and only scenes, new mediums

• milton works with verse and prose

creativity with using classical materials - epic similes in both
