If someone has the perspective of being wronged by that person, then they will most likely oppose them in any way. But if someone has the perspective of being good friends with that person, then they are more likely to support them.

Act 2: When something bad happens, someone's perspective will immediately impact how they experience the event.

Quote: "Beseech you, sir, be merry. You have cause— So have we all—of joy, for our escape Is much beyond our loss" (Shakespeare 2.1.1-3).

Act 3: A person's perspective will completely identify how they will work and act when they are performing an action.

When someone in charge has a lot of power, then they will use it to enforce their will. However, when power is overused, then people will begin to rebel.

Act 3: When someone abuses their power, it causes their subjects to want someone else to be in charge of them.

Quote: "Yea, yea, my lord. I’ll yield him thee asleep, Where thou mayst knock a nail into his head" (Shakespeare 3.2.67-68).

Act 2: Power causes people's perspectives to change in ways that may or may not be good.

When someone knows something, how they choose to deliver it determines their power. if they give a little at a time, then they have a lot of power over the receiver. If they choose to give it all at once, they have no power over the receiver.

Act 2: If someone does not have knowledge, then that leads to an inept excuse as to why they do not have the knowledge and puts their benighted state on display.

Act 3: The knowledge of how to frighten others is a powerful thing, as it can leave people in a ruined state after they have been made afraid.

Quote: "Their several kinds have done. My high charms work, And these mine enemies are all knit up In their distractions. They now are in my power, And in these fits, I leave them while I visit Young Ferdinand" (Shakespeare 3.3.107-112).
