Oh, I'm okay thanks, it is the weekend after all so I always feel better getting up on a Saturday and taking it easy. Coffee and croissants for breakfast tomorrow and a nice lazy day apart from spending money to get the TV ariel fixed and on Christmas presents.
How about Brutus? He was a bit of a nasty chap which might fit with your work. This link might help you out, but don't steal the ideas as your own work:

Whenever you are struggling next time though, why not read it through and list the characters and think it out a little? It is always best if you can to come to the answer yourself, based on your feelings.

''Machiavellian character''
If you are referring to Shakespeare 'Julius Caesar' I would suggest that the most Machiavellian character in that story is Gaius Cassius who led the assassination conspiracy. He certainly wasn't seeking what was best for Rome, but what was best for himself. He thought that once Caesar was removed that all of Rome would rally behind him. But he was thwarted by Mark Anthony and the Legions.

wanted what was best for Rome was Brutus. He was not motivated by personal gain, but what would preserve the Roman republic, i. e. the death of Caesar. That is why he was called the noblest Roman of them all. Not yon Cassiuis who had a lean and hungry look.

I'd say Cassius. Although there's no evidence to suggest he's a lovable guy, he has strong political views. He's the one who says "What trash is Rome!". Brutus doesn't strike me as having that political savvy.

What about Mark Antony? (Machiavellian does not necessarily mean being evil like the conspirators)
Julius Caesar can be considered very Machiavellian, he orders soldiers to destroy statues of Pompey, suggests at getting rid of Cassius, doesn't accept the crown from the senate for public purposes.

thanks all
it seems its very confused to judge,its complex question as its not easy to answer as your ideas that we shoul put the stoic,epicurean,constant,private benefit and the public .
"Machivelli had suggested that sometimes the prince has to be lessthan morally virtuous in order to maintain control and protect his subjects"
its still open to your minds
thanks guys
