Power was shown in both of the main characters, Mary and Patrick. The power was obvious with Patrick. He didn't feel a spark between him and his wife, so he started seeing another woman. He felt more dominant over Mary, proving that he can basically get whatever he wants. Mary's power seeped through when she murdered him with the frozen leg of lamb. Of course, she probably didn't mean to kill him, but just wanted to cripple him out of fury.
Both implications of power corrupted the characters. Patrick, or any man (or woman), shouldn't have cheated on his wife. Mary responded rightfully with an immense amount of anger, but obviously went about it the wrong way.
Patrick was honest. Honesty is the best policy, as was admitting to his wife that he was cheating. Nobody wants to hear it, but it's better to be said aloud then lead them on for months or even years to come. Mary bottled up her rage until she could no longer stand it, and poured all her strength into one swing of the lamb, killing Patrick. If she had controlled her anger and thought rationally she wouldn't have accidentally murdered him.

Daedalus had a not-so-obvious "power" - inventing. To escape from Crete's evil exile, he created two pairs of wax wings for his son and himself. He mocked the down feathers of birds and fastened them against both of their bodies as to allow flight to escape. The power Daedalus felt was that he and his son could flee their imprisonment with a not-so-simple invention.
This pride of his inventions is helping, despite one leading to his own son's death. If his son didn't tamper with the wings previously, he would've made it safe onto a different, free land. His father was only trying to help both of them by escaping.
Daedalus was scared. You see this during the second chapter when, as he pinned the faux wings against his son's body, he started silently sobbing. This fear probably cast a shadow of doubt in his mind that hindered his ability to create a 100% safe invention.

The Kid showcased an immense amount of power over his fiance, Lizzie. It seemed he loved the girl, considering the fact he had previously proposed to her, but decided to take another woman to the annual dance to anger Liz and prove that he can do anything without her saying so.
This inflated ego eventually hurts the Kid in the end, as Lizzie goes on murdering him out of anger, then proceeding to kill herself. If he didn't let his own pride get to his head, he would've remained alive.
Kid was cheeky. He wanted to prove Lizzie didn't "own" him by accompanying another woman to the club's dance. This ultimately led to his demise, as jealousy and rage took over Lizzie. Being narcissistic led Kid to his death.

Power came into play in Ozymandias when the traveler described the late king Ozymandias. The man was bold, declaring that he was the king of kings, and this narcissistic view on one's self can lead to awful decisions and acting without thinking. It can make the person feel strong enough to conquer anything, even if he isn't.
This power corrupted the king. Obviously, if the statue was built in his honor, then he is most likely long gone. This hints to a past with violent determination and a will to stand victorious. During his ruling, Ozymandias was quite possibly the cause of his own demise.
Being too ambitious could hinder your thoughts and corrupt your brain into thinking you rule above all and nothing can stand in your way. This kind of power can really blind a person of the ugly truth.

Power came into play in Invictus because the main character, our narrator, feels as if he is powerful enough to decide his own fate. The poem was written after the author's bout with tuberculosis. The tone of this powerful piece portrays exactly how he felt during and after the disease wracked his body and took his foot. Although it seemed as if this incredible sickness would stop him in his tracks, the author kept forth and continued writing, just as the narrator of his poem continued fighting for himself.
This power is helping the narrator. It is never awful to be brave. Impulsive, yes. Vindictive and overly ambitious, absolutely. But to be brave, to harden your shell and power through whatever is attempting to hinder you is courageous in its own act. It is hard to be able to put your foot down and be the one driving the car of fate. It is difficult to take the wheel and say, "I am going this way. I'm in control." The narrator does this by vowing that he won't bow down to the obstacles that stand in his way. Instead, he will fight through them, and be in charge of his own future.
As mentioned beforehand, the narrator is extremely brave. It's difficult to face possibly disheartening outcomes that can shape your future so negatively, but the narrator does so in a fearless manner, stating boldly that he is the captain of his soul meaning he is in charge of his fate.
