During the stalemate before the battle, two men fell ill with an eye infection, and were dismissed so they could recuperate. When the battle came, however, one ordered his helot to lead him, blind as he was, into the heart of the fight, where they both died. The other, Aristodemus, followed his orders and returned home. There he was branded a 'trembler' (coward) and effectively abandoned by his city. He was allowed to live there, but he was ignored by his friends, considered as low as a helot in rank, and his daughters were refused husbands.
Macbeth is unaware that Malcolm, Macduff and some Scottish English lords have agreed into killing him. Macbeth isn't really concerned about the prophecy. He insures that he cannot be killed by any man born of woman. He soon confronts Macduff, and learns that Macduff was ripped from his mother's side and not born naturally. Thus, all of the mistakes he made from the beginning and not seeing each one he was making, it leads him into death.
The story of Antigone is written by Jean Anouilh. Upon her stay in Thebes, Antigone learns that both her brothers are dead. Eteocles has been given a proper burial, but Creon, Antigone’s uncle who has inherited the thrones, has issued a royal edict banning the burial of Polynecies, who is believed a traitor.

Mercenaries should not be used to form the base of your army for they are unreliable in battle. The use of mercenaries is not what a prince should do because mercenaries are "brave among their friends and cowards among their enemies." All military arms should be under the power of the prince or of the republic. Mercenaries are to wild and power hungry that will either flee the moment you are attacked or they will not fight hard because the little pay they get is not enough for them to throw their lives away for you. The biggest danger from mercenaries is cowardice.

Macbeth tells his wife, Lady Macbeth, That he cannot go through with it and she begins to question him, “When you durst do it, then you were a man; And, to be more than what you were, you would be so much more the man” (Shakespeare I.VII. 55-57). Lady Macbeth begins to question Macbeth’s manhood saying that if he goes through with this then he is truly a fearless man but if he backs out then he is not a man.

When he becomes narrow-minded, he accuses the sentry of receiving money from the citizens to tell Creon about Polynices’ burial. Creon announces to the sentry that “Money topples cities to the ground, seduces men away from happy homes, corrupts the honest heart to shifty ways, makes men crooked connoisseurs of vice” (203). The one characteristic Creon lacks is compassion towards others. For instance, Creon locks up Antigone instead of listening to Antigone’s explanation of why she wants a proper burial for her brother. Antigone proves Creon’s lack of compassion when she states “No other brother can be born or grows again.
