Example text
TUCKER autonomy which, to his good fortune, he is in part socialized to assume. ”38 What this “other” offers her is not just an escape from contingency, but also that which she experienced as a child: adult protection. ”39 This sense of place and protection combines with her vassalage to the lover/god whose perceived transcendence and relative autonomy endow his devotee with worth. Because the woman in love’s sense of worth, protection, and place are completely dependent upon him, she must, paradoxically, control the very god she worships.
The story itself tries to eliminate these possibilities, but like Fortune in The Prince or Priam in the Nicomachean Ethics, contingencies and reversals give the lie to the illusion of self-sufficiency. We can further summarize how The Prince and the Nicomachean Ethics function as cautionary tales with a return to the elements of pride and humility listed at the chapter’s outset.

Aristotle and others might point to the Marquis as one who functions highly in the art of statecraft.
