Hautefaye was a small village located in southwestern France right along the border of the Dordogne départment. Although peasants were the only inhabitants of Hautefaye, it was rumored that the remainder of the Dordogne départment was filled with large estates owned by the nobility.

These rumors, along with instances of the local church caused the peasantry to also believe the church, and the nobility were trying to overthrow

Through discovery our perception of human nature changes alongside the world we live in. this is shown in Micheal de Montaigne’s “of cannibals” and the Tempest written by William Shakespeare. Both show, when man is left alone in a natural state, humans grow to perfection, compared to the state of a civilized man whom is corrupt and alters human nature to an animalistic form.

Thus, they reveal what humans of every time and every land have in common:
