AN ENDS TO THE MEANS “Does the ends justify the means? This is perhaps one of the most eminent debate topics in history, particularly in converse of the writings of Machiavelli. It is also one of the most pressing questions that any campaigner or activist should ask themselves; whether that be in regards to personal life, individual careers, charity organisations, political movements, or even an extremist organisations. It is a topic which can be the focal point for the story-teller, such as many of William Shakespeare’s plays. Many of Shakespeare’s plays revolved around protagonists using different means to reach a desired goal or end. The play “All’s Well That Ends Well” almost answers the debate in its own title.
