📘 Anthony And Cleopatra by William Shakespeare

This is not a tragedy as the others. Not a comedy, far from it, but it is inevitable to notice the sometimes humorous tone present in Cleopatra's dialogue. Eccentric, alluring, and powerful, Queen of Egypt Cleopatra has Marc Antony as her lover, and a life of luxury and delight. However, Caesar needs Antony to return to Rome, depose his sister, and replace her as emperor. Cleopatra, although feeling betrayed, welcomes him back as she does, when he's tired of her new wife. Thus, the couple, illegitimate, incites Caesar's hatred against all of Egypt. Written between 1607 and 1608, Antony and Cleopatra is a piece of power and treachery, featuring dynamic scenes that guarantee a captivating read from beginning to end.
