Ambition is not represented as such. In classical literature, the ambitious character will strive for ambition and this is represented as simply wanting to improve one's class or status in society. However, a machiavellian character will stop at nothing - ambition dominates their every thought and action. Their character is driven through ambition and they will stop at nothing to succeed in their ambitions. Machiavelli (The Prince) teaches how to become ambitious, and it gave advice to those of deeply ambitious natures to strive for their wonts by using every means possible - Machiavellian characters can be seen in Shakespeare's Machbeth (or Lady Macbeth) and Iago - to name but two. the murder of any other person is acceptable to the Machiavellian character because ambition blinds and prevents any form of pity /regret / emotion.
