I'm looking for works that explore how power politics works.
How someone exploits personal relationships to serve someone's selfish needs.
What works have you read, seen or you know that talks about
psychopathic manipulation of relationships in the road to power?
If you can cite works by the canonical authors, or works of recognized merit,
so much the better.
Here's a list of the names of works contributed by members:

King Lear and Othello (by Red Terror)
The Bone Clocks, by David Mitchell. (by Taraxippos)
