Friedrich Wilhelm was a walking contradiction. A man who spoke little but enjoyed lavish dinner parties; a man who remained a patron of the arts and high culture (especially "Münster-rian" opera) while secretly collecting cheap, dime-store adventure novels. A man who championed the rights of the nobility and constitutionalism but would use his power as Kaiser to sidestep people, ideas and institutions if he felt they would slow him (and the country) down. Finally, Friedrich Wilhelm was a die-hard classical conservative who would modernize forever the Dundorfian State.
