The Complete Antony and Cleopatra

Zusatztext

Like Romeo and Juliet, Antony and Cleopatra is an archetypal love story but of more mature lovers. However, the play isnt only that; it is also an epic rife with political machinations. In addition it is a character study, revealing Antony beset by very human emotions and a tragic weakness, and Cleopatra, as a self-deluding, aging siren. Of course Antony pays for his weakness as does Cleopatra. Yet even in death they are united, buried together andlinked by scholars and lovers for all time.
