Answer:

Machiavelli's human view mostly states that human nature is selfish, aggressive, greedy and power-hungry, but in need of security and safety.

Thus, he considers man in a similar way to that of Thomas Hobbes: humans have a predominantly negative conception, their individual characteristics are prone to evil, and society is a containment in which humans limit those characteristics. But he differs from Hobbes in that he believes that humans have advanced intelligence, and that he uses his selfishness and lack of empathy to achieve the goals he sets for himself, justifying the means in the end he sets for himself.

Explain why the poet structure the poem brennan on the moor into stanzas of four and two lines

Ganezh [65]

"Brennan on the Moor" is structured in this way, so that the longer stanzas can follow the tale of Brennan and give more details to the story. The shorter stanzas act as a chorus, which is usually used to come back to the main idea of a song or poem (in this case, the idea that Brennan is the hero of the poem).
