Moreover, Creon jumped to conclusions when hearing what the soothsayer Teiresias had to say. "Teiresias, it is a sorry thing when a wise man sells his wisdom, lets out his works for hire!" (Creon, Scene 5, Lines 53-54) The prophecy that Creon was about to receive from Teiresisas was adverse, and he did not want to hear it or believe it. Teiresias knew the evil of Creon's ways and the punishments that he would soon have to endure. Creon also knew these things somewhere in his subconscious, which is why he again judged badly and accused the soothsayer of selling out. All of the prophecy meant for this corrupt king would come true. Creon eventually acknowledged that his judgements were indeed rash, selfish and wrong; if he had listened to the accounts that he easily shrugged off, all of his tragedy could have been avoided. "There is no happiness where there is no wisdom; no wisdom but in submission to the gods. Big words are always punished, and proud men in old age learn to be wise." (Choragos, Scene 5, Lines 139-142).
Just as Creon made bad judgements, Julius Caesar did as well. Julius Caesar was one of the central characters in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Caesar's faux pas in his judgement could have easily been avoided had he just listened to reason and common sense. Caesar's ignorance led to bad choices that caused a most horrendous death - assassination by the person he trusted most (Brutus). The night before the Ides of March brought many signs and warnings to Caesar. The first one was his wife Calpurnia's dream. She told him of this and begged Caesar to stay home, but he dusted her aside as a weak woman. Furthermore, "Plucking the entrails of an offering forth, they [the augurers] could not find a heart within the beast." (Servant, Act I Scene 2, Lines 39-40) On the morning of the Ides of March, a sacrifice was made to the gods. This sacrifice had no heart, a clear sign of the future that lay ahead for Caesar - soon he too would not have a heart; he would be killed.
