Law Thirty-Three: Discover Each Man's Thumbscrew

Analysis

All people have their weakness. The virtue normally lies in determining some elements that may give them a sense of insecurity (Greene 271). Where a person can fully explore the vulnerabilities and need of others, he is likely to exert some form of power and control over them. The insecurity and need of others are deemed to be a thumbscrew in their lives. Learning about the weakness of other people is more edged on spending more time with them and analyzing their habits. Thus, a person has the chance to establish some of the elements that make them more afraid. In 1615, Richelieu exploited the weakness of King Louis XIII due to the reduced support that he had among his subjects and the Queen Mother (Greene 272). Thus, by remaining close to the king, Richelieu managed to rule over France on his behalf.
