Antoine et Cléopâtre by William Shakespeare
"Antoine et Cléopâtre" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy first performed around 1607. The play follows the passionate relationship between Roman triumvir Mark Antony and Egypt's Queen Cleopatra, set against the backdrop of political conflict and war. As Antony neglects his duties for love, tensions rise with fellow triumvir Octavius Caesar. The story alternates between sensual Alexandria and austere Rome, building toward the catastrophic Battle of Actium. Shakespeare crafts a complex portrait
of love, power, and loyalty that defies simple classification. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
