What makes a Renaissance person? According to Alberti it is someone who works hard to achieve their goals. Someone who is affraid is not a Renaissance person. You must be willing to put you life on the line for falmily, friends and government. You must not be afraid of evil things, and know that you are protected.
According to Castiglione you must be faithful to the one you serve. You don't have to be perfect. YOu don't have to know everything about everything. All you have to do is take your knowledge and use it to help the one you serve.
According to Machiavelli you must be like a prince. To be like a prince you must fallow the rules and try and win peoples praise. First make them belive that all you want is there wellbeing and if you know of a better way to do it, makesure they know you are changing things for them. You can't be lazy and you must always know what the people want from you. If you know what they want, you can try to give it to them, or give them an explination.
The three writters have three different views for the Rennaissance man. They hope to help people become better in hat they do and how they act, for they advantage of others.
