What are the disadvantages of high place Disadvantages are the bad sides of something that create problems pain or loss Francis Bacon - in his Of Great Place writes about the disadvantages of high place He shows that a high place looks great from a distance But inside it brings pain fear and many losses His words match real events No Freedom Bacon writes nbsp Men in great place are thrice servants nbsp This is the first disadvantage A powerful man must serve the ruler fame and business In Whitehall officers like Bacon himself had no free time Every hour belonged to the state Bacon adds nbsp It is a strange desire to seek power and to lose liberty nbsp A man thinks he is rising But he is losing his freedom Full of Pain nbsp Bacon writes nbsp The rising unto place is laborious and by pains men come

to greater pains nbsp The court of Queen Elizabeth showed this clearly Courtiers worked hard to gain honour But when they gained it they faced more fear more enemies and more duties Bacon as Lord Chancellor faced endless work long meetings and heavy judgment A high seat gives no rest No Retire and Peace Bacon says that great men cannot retire easily He writes nbsp Retire men cannot when they would nbsp In London many old officers still sat in public places because they feared losing attention They lived with anxiety They smiled outside but suffered inside Fame tied them like a chain Thus the disadvantages of a high place are loss of freedom heavy pressure and lack of peace Bacon shows that power is a burden
