This question is based on ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA.
Antony: "I will be / A bridegroom in my death, and run into't / As to a lover's bed."
Eros: "Draw that thy honest sword, which thou hast worn / Most useful for thy country."
Antony: "When I did make thee free, sworest thou not then / To do this when I bade thee?" What does this moment between Antony and Eros represent?
Antony commands Eros to kill him — a test of the servant's loyalty. Eros instead kills himself, prompting Antony to admire him and eventually follow. It's a powerful moment of loyalty and noble self-sacrifice.
