Those handfuls of intriguers strengthened themselves to rule this country.

Those disruptions are perpetrated by domestic non-Han ethnic minorities, not by stock wuxia film antagonists--feuding temple loyalists, scheming imperial advisors, eunuch intriguers, defamers of the nation, abusers of the poor and weak, or those single-mindedly pursuing vengeance.

The Daily Telegraph said: "His portly figure, his pleasant smile and jovial good-humored face accorded ill with the popular delusion which represents all priests of the Church of Rome as ascetic fanatics or Machiavellian intriguers." It went on to say that he was a person fond of social pleasures in moderation and "represented his Church in her more showy, brilliant, and social character" as she is when she "patronizes art and loves pomp and sustains the idea of hierarchical grandeur." (15) Another newspaper, The Tablet, wrote that "the ignorant and malicious called him worldly-minded, self-indulgent, fond of pomp and display, a proud prelate, and an ambitious ecclesiastic."

A workingwoman, Hameeda, said these soaps were for women who're work-shy and intriguers. She said soaps promoted violence against women, Indian traditions, norms and values etc.

Of all the Machiavellian intriguers of the play, Fortinbras is the only one Hamlet admired at all, and his endorsement of his candidacy for the throne of Denmark just before his death reinforces his admiration with emphasis.

Richard's careless misreading of the Spanish characters Monina and Hernan de Faro--metaphoric and literal representations of romance--is especially noteworthy on this count as it speaks of a quixotic idealism that, as Moskal and Gary Kelly note, "became a staple of anti-Jacobin rhetoric" (Moskal, 31) during the 1790s and 1810 and gave rise to a subgenre of novels "show[ing] the Quixote figure as an impractical dupe to 'Jacobin' intriguers, conspirators, and seducers."
