The general editors of the new series of forty volumes--the renowned Shakespeareans Stephen Orgel of Stanford University and A. R. Braunmuller of UCLA--have assembled a team of six eminent scholars who have, along with the general editors themselves, prepared new introductions and notes to all of Shakespeare's plays and poems. Redesigned in an easy-to-read format that preserves the favorite features of the original, including an essay on the theatrical world of Shakespeare, an introduction to the individual play, and a note on the text used.

About the author
William Shakespeare
22.4k听books45.8k听followersWilliam Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet, and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "the Bard"). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Sometime between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner ("sharer") of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men after the ascension of King James VI and I of Scotland to the English throne. At age 49 (around 1613), he appears to have retired to Stratford, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare's private life survive; this has stimulated considerable speculation about such matters as his physical appearance, his sexuality, his religious beliefs, and even certain fringe theories as to whether the works attributed to him were written by others.
Shakespeare produced most of his known works between 1589 and 1613. His early plays were primarily comedies and histories and are regarded as some of the best works produced in these genres. He then wrote mainly tragedies until 1608, among them Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, all considered to be among the finest works in the English language. In the last phase of his life, he wrote tragicomedies (also known as romances) and collaborated with other playwrights.
Many of Shakespeare's plays were published in editions of varying quality and accuracy during his lifetime. However, in 1623, John Heminge and Henry Condell, two fellow actors and friends of Shakespeare's, published a more definitive text known as the First Folio, a posthumous collected edition of Shakespeare's dramatic works that includes 36 of his plays. Its Preface was a prescient poem by Ben Jonson, a former rival of Shakespeare, that hailed Shakespeare with the now famous epithet: "not of an age, but for all time".

This play is so good, it is not merely a masterpiece: it is a mystery. The two protagonists are alternately noble and petty, wise and foolish, and yet they never seem inconsistent or self-contradictory because Shakespeare--here is the mystery--consistently maintains a tone that is paradoxically both ironic and heroic. Part of it is the language, which shifts seamlessly from mellifluous monologues adorned with cosmic imagery (comparing Anthony and Cleopatra to continents, stars,etc.) to the most modern-sounding, most casual and wittiest dialogue of Shakespeare's career. Part of it is the larger-than-life characterization which transforms each vicious and pathetic absurdity into a privilege of the lovers' protean magnificence--as undeniable and unquestionable as the sovreign acts of Olympian gods. Whatever the reason, this play makes me laugh and cry and leaves me with a deep spiritual reverence for the possibilities of the human heart.
I wrote the paragraph above two and a half years ago, and it still reflects my opinion of the play. This time through, though, I was particularly struck by how much the voices of the military subordinates and servants--Enobarbus and Charmion, Ventidius and Alexis, and many others, including even unnamed messengers and soldiers--contribute to this double movement of the ironic and heroic, celebrating the leaders' mythic qualities but also commenting on their great flaws. Enobarbus--with his loyal (albeit amused) appreciation, his disillusioned betrayal, and his subsequent death from what can best be described as a broken heart--is central to this aspect of the play.

The Tragedie of Antony and Cleopatra = Antony and Cleopatra, William Shakespeare
The plot is based on Thomas North's translation of Plutarch's Lives and follows the relationship between Cleopatra and Mark Antony from the time of the Sicilian revolt to Cleopatra's suicide during the Final War of the Roman Republic.
The major antagonist is Octavius Caesar, one of Antony's fellow triumvirs of the Second Triumvirate and the first emperor of the Roman Empire. The tragedy is mainly set in Rome and Egypt and is characterized by swift shifts in geographical location and linguistic register as it alternates between sensual, imaginative Alexandria and a more pragmatic, austere Rome.

Mark Antony the Roman general , right- hand man of the great Caesar, a shadow to be sure of the most famous ruler of Rome and his unsurpassed conquests in the history of the Empire , yet he Antony , had ability just not enough to overcome his weaknesses. Excessive drinking and chasing beautiful women and ignoring his duty, a bit coarse in truth. The fatal meeting with Queen Cleopatra v11, Greek in blood little of it Egyptian in what is now modern Turkey, she dazzled him floating down a river, the Cydnus ( now called Berdan) on a large barge , all that sparkling opulence the purple sails, silver oars, golden canopy under which the queen lies, dressed like a Greek goddess, the perfumed vessel's delicious aroma spread by the gentle wind,
crossing the waters to its banks, crowds gather the music plays everyone hears, loves...awed and fascinated at the spectacular sight . Not a beauty no Elizabeth Taylor...what she lacked physically, the temptress made up by her intelligence speaking at least seven languages, today the monarch of the Nile would be called an intellectual. Cleopatra's main interest was preserving the independence of her beloved ancient Egypt, she gave it all. Nevertheless the queen who became his fifth wife her third husband, ( having married her two younger brothers previously) must of realized Mark was no Caesar, his adopted son, biologically grand- nephew Octavian soon to be called Augustus Caesar, was the closest to Julius in ability, if not a good military leader which men would trust and follow into deadly battle. But he choose well his generals and admirals, the massive sea battle of Actium off the coast of Greece, September 2, 31 B.C. over 500 ships and many thousands of crewmen fought and died proved it. The final struggle, the inevitable contest to be the supreme leader of the Roman world came and the winner ...well you can read the results in a history book or see a film. Shakespeare's poetry makes a tragedy come to life, the magic continues in the words, page after page the sentences wonderfully connect the emotions and fears grip the reader, we may know the outcome still the interest never evaporates, the facts are not important the enchantment is... Antony and Cleopatra were buried in the same tomb now lost and unknown near Alexandria, when the desert winds blew the shifted sands flowed into the air and came down again, covering all... the memory of man is short...

Shakespeare does it again.
He mingles the historical with the imaginary, the public with the private, the tragedy with the theatrical to infuse life into one the most popular couples in ancient Rome; the star-crossed lovers Anthony and Cleopatra. Love and war were never more indistinguishably fused.
The fact that the Bard brings forth his masterful descriptive skills almost avoiding the use of the soliloquy, his trump car and most employed device to create poignant psychological portraits, makes the characterization of the protagonists all the more an astonishing feat.
Because Anthony, Cleopatra and Octavius are presented as contradictory individuals, whose passions represent public symbols in the realm of political machinations, and the burden of their pressing responsibilities eschews easy stereotyping.
Anthony is a man of action with grand aspirations. He attempts to rationalize his ardent love for Cleopatra and capitulates to his ancestry, acting like a uniting bridge between the Roman and the Egyptian values. His ultimate self-sacrifice in front of Caesar鈥檚 hegemony after his boundless desire has overpowered his warrior鈥檚 ambition is an act of equal nobleness and desperation, worthy of 鈥淎 Roman, by a Roman; Valiantly vanquished鈥�, instead of the humiliated hero.
Cleopatra might easily be the most complex and thought-provoking of Shakespeare鈥檚 female characters, which is denoted in the unusually poetic, allegoric language she employs. She refers to herself as the 鈥淣ile鈥� and her words acquire a particular cadence that could be associated with water. What a better metaphorical antithesis for the classical notion of fixed and stable identity? For Cleopatra embodies such radical 鈥渙therness鈥�, such histrionic voluptuousness, capricious and dangerously tantalizing that in her converges the exoticism of the 鈥淓astern鈥� mysteries that both repel and attract the self-restrained Roman leaders, first Julius Caesar, and then Marc Anthony.
鈥淪he shall be buried with Anthony-
No grave upon earth shall clip in it
A pair so famous. High events as these
Strike those that make them; and their story is
No less in pity than his glory which
Brought them to be lamented.鈥�
Such is the tribute Octavius pays to his rival, displaying a remarkable empathy that bespeaks of the Emperor鈥檚 unwavering sense of justice. Anthony and Cleopatra鈥檚 surrender anticipates the end of an era, the dissolution of Egypt as a powerful opponent to the Roman Empire and the beginning of unrestful times, precluding the expansion of Christianity and posterior entrance into the obscure Middle Ages.
And so again, the reader is left wondering whether Shakespeare was writing a love-tragedy, a historical play with a rather anti-climatic conclusion or a nostalgic elegy to a splendorous past that saw its end coming.
Whatever the case, I envision joyful times ahead trying to figure out Shakespeare鈥檚 teasing riddles and contradicting myself as I change perspectives throughout my life.
Few things are so comforting like such thought.
Few things are this precious.

Book Review
4 out of 5 stars to , a play published in 1606 by .This is one of my favorite Shakespearean plays, partially for some of the reality on which it is based. Some know the full story, others know bits and pieces. Cleopatra, famous in her own right, is the Queen of Egypt. Caeser is conquering the world. Antony rules Rome for a while. The love affair between these three, plus a former wife and the sister, Octavia, create such a beautiful and tragic story. Misunderstood messages. Betrayal. Hatred. Anger. Love. It's a reflection on all the human emotions, wondering why we are tested at so many points in our lives. Where does a man's heart lie? How honest is the woman he loves? Can you trust your own staff? Time-tested questions we've faced for nearly 400 years since this was written, but also the thousands of years before it. This one had a bit of everything and was one of the more easily understood plays. It tugs a little at your emotions while pushing you to root for the right people. And if you are a history buff, it makes it all that much more enjoyable.

"Upon her landing, Antony sent to her,
Invited her to supper. She replied,
It should be better he become her guest,
Which she entreated. Our courteous Antony,
Whom ne'er the word "no" woman heard speak,
Being barbered ten times o'er, goes to the feast,
And for his ordinary pays his heart
For what his eyes eat only."

I wish you all the joys of the worm.
You know, for the longest time, I had placed this of all of Shakespeare's plays among the highest in my estimation, for where else could I have so many references to melting or even have an early punk band write a song about it? (Melt, Siouxsie and the Banshees)
Indeed, Let Rome in Tiber melt! I really enjoyed the triumvirate of powers, the play on politics and the whole chaos of such an equal footing between Ceasar, Antony, and Cleopatra. Can we blame the woman? Should we rather blame the man? Could it just be the ego and pride of Ceasar we should point a finger at? The whole world was at all of their feet, and yet all of their egos were too big for the Earth to hold them.
Honestly, the first portion of the play was easily the worst and I didn't love it nearly as much as my first reading. Rather, I enjoyed the play of words and the references to the classic legends surrounding Cleopatra and the rug more than the actual revolving scenes and action.
This isn't quite true for the unfurling of the real tragedy, however. I did love that as much as I had remembered.
But I can't, in all fairness, keep the last star just for the strength of the end, so I struck it. I let Eros be my scholar.
Still, not dead, not dead.

Can we blame the woman? Should we rather blame the man? Could it just be the ego and pride of Ceasar we should point a finger at? The whole world was at all of their feet, and yet all of their egos were too big for the Earth to hold them.
Honestly, the first portion of the play was easily the worst and I didn't love it nearly as much as my first reading. Rather, I enjoyed the play of words and the references to the classic legends surrounding Cleopatra and the rug more than the actual revolving scenes and action.
This isn't quite true for the unfurling of the real tragedy, however. I did love that as much as I had remembered.
But I can't, in all fairness, keep the last star just for the strength of the end, so I struck it. I let Eros be my scholar.
Still, not dead, not dead.

I had an interesting journey with this play. I read it once and thought it was okay. Then I watched a brilliant adaptation, and then reread it, and now I love it and it鈥檚 one of my favourites. I thought that the fighting and war strategy side of things were not the most interesting, but weren鈥檛 boring either. The characters kept talking over each other but that was part of the story and felt very realistic. People do that in real life too. And when you have so many leaders in a single area鈥� it makes a lot of sense. Cleopatra was amazing. She was quite funny and dramatic, but she was also fierce and smart. I like that the play has echoes of Romeo and Juliet threaded in there鈥� and a hint of forbidden romance. I loved the Egyptian setting.

Antony and Cleopatra is a stormy exploration of power, passion, and the fickle hand of fate. A collision of opposing forces鈥擱ome鈥檚 disciplined structure against Egypt鈥檚 chaotic seductions鈥攁nd the ambiguities of love, allegiance, and political ambition underscore the characters鈥� fickle loyalties and ceaseless quests for power, blurring the lines between hero and villain.
While Antony grapples with the tension between duty and desire, and Cleopatra represents a mix of feminine power that both charms and confuses, the narrative deftly shifts between Roman courts and Egyptian palaces, letting the setting mirror the characters鈥� conflicting ambitions. Striking lines like Antony鈥檚 cry of 鈥淟et Rome in Tiber melt鈥� (I,1,38) and Cleopatra鈥檚 matching 鈥淢elt Egypt into Nile鈥� (II,5,96) demonstrate Shakespeare鈥檚 genius for expressing emotions through imagery.
Antony and Cleopatra could be compared to in its passionate and tragic undercurrents. But this play isn鈥檛 just a love story and is not just a piece of history either; it鈥檚 a geopolitical chess game, a meeting of two distinct cultures with their accompanying stereotypes of Western superiority and Eastern inferiority, that advances to the graver realms of political discord and mature love. It also shares themes with , yet employs a different lens and locale.
This play has given rise to countless adaptations and has been critiqued from varying perspectives鈥攕ome upholding the Roman virtues, while others decry the portrayal of Eastern otherness, adding layers to its interpretative richness. In particular, a deeper examination of the play within the context of Elizabethan imperialism might be illuminating. Furthermore, seeing Antony grapple with the same moral dilemmas that might beset leaders today and watching Cleopatra鈥檚 baffling blend of vulnerability and strength unfold on stage adds an arresting relevance to the play.
With that said, 鈥淚 wish you joy o鈥� the worm鈥�.

鈥淕ive me my robe, put on my crown; I have Immortal longings in me鈥�
鈥� William Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra
A great Shakespeare play, but one (for me) that is still overpowered by Shakespeare's earlier tragedies. The story is based on (North's translation). The weight and strength of this play is, obviously, going to center on Cleopatra and Antony. They are fascinating as a couple (literary and political binaries) and Cleopatra is amazingly, spectacularly, flushed-out by Shakespeare. Their "love" story, even before Shakespeare, was destined for myth. But Shaksepeare makes us both root for their survival and their love even as we know the dark worm turns, the golden snake bites, and opportunism and luck eventually both come to an abrubt and tragic end.
Even with ALL of that, there isn't enough in this play (for me) to launch it into the highest Shakespearean orbit. I think part of this blame lies with me. I think I need to spend MORE time with the play. I think there are textures and shades that I missed. This play needs more than days, it needs and demands (like Cleopatra and Antony) attention. So, perhaps, I am giving too short of a stick to this play. I can buy that. I should also mention, beyond Antony and Cleopatra (and perhaps Caesar Augustus), the best lines of this play all come from Enobarbus.
Favorite Lines:
鈥淚n time we hate that which we often fear.鈥�
- Act I, Scene 3
"WE, ignorant of ourselves,
Beg often our own harms, which the wise powers
Deny us for our good; so find we profit
By losin gof our prayers."
- Act II, Scene 1
"The Barge she sat in, like a burnished throwne,
Burned on the water."
- Act II, Scene 2
"And for his ordinary pays his heart
For what his eyes eat only."
- Act II, Scene 2
"Good madam, keep yourself within yourself"
- Act II, Scene 5
鈥淭he breaking of so great a thing should make
A greater crack: the round world
Should have shook lions into civil streets,
And citizens to their dens.鈥�
- Act V, Scene 1

鈥� The city cast her people out upon her and Antony, enthroned i鈥檛h鈥檓arket-place, did sit alone, whistling to th鈥檃ir, which, but for vacancy, had gone to gaze on Cleopatra too, and made a gap in nature.

鈥滻 made these wars for Egypt, and the queen 鈥� whose heart I thought I had, for she had mine.鈥� ~Antony
鈥滾et me rail so high
That the false housewife Fortune break her wheel
Provoked by my offense.鈥�
~Cleopatra
鈥漈he breaking of so great a thing should
make
A greater crack.鈥�
~Caesar
Sequels rarely match the original work. When they do, it is noteworthy, as when Godfather II won a Best Picture Oscar. Antony and Cleopatra is a Shakespearean sequel of sorts, the story continued from Julius Caesar. While it lacks the fame of its predecessor in Shakespeare鈥檚 canon, and is not nearly so often preformed or read, I find it to be just as powerful, if not more so. It is among my favorite of his works.
Antony and Cleopatra is both a History (sourced from Plutarch鈥檚 Lives) and a tragedy. While short on famous lines, it is driven by unforgettable characters. Cleopatra is Shakespeare鈥檚 greatest female creation, clever, impish, impassioned, and raging. Antony is both noble and foolish, a great warrior sliding into his dotage. Their shared passion drives them, their doom, and the play, and o鈥檙 matches all other such in Shakespeare. Their combined foolishness and nobility is irresistible. Octavian Caesar鈥檚 cold, calculated efficiency is a brilliant counterpoint to this passion. Enobarbus, Antony鈥檚 chief lieutenant, is the play鈥檚 Cassandra, a hard nosed, practical soldier who foresees his lord鈥檚 doom, warns him against it in vain, and is destroyed by it. In truth, all the minor characters in the play throb with life, each adding to its whole and not one a cipher.
Antony and Cleopatra is full of spectacle 鈥� feasts and councils, battles at sea and battles on land, Love and War. It may be the logistics of this that keeps it from being preformed as often as its quality merits. But little effort is required to acquaint yourself with this brilliant play. I recommend doing it soon, and often.

Love, power, politics, and betrayal (and death)
The tragic romance between two real historical figures (Mark Antony and Cleopatra) continues to resonate and hold value for readers and audiences even many years after it was written.
Shakespeare's masterful portrayal of these two complex characters is the thing that got me. (Yeah, I'm sad!)

What strikes the most about this play is perhaps its volatile nature. We switch from site to site in an instant, from Athens to Rome, then Alexandria, and on to Sicily. We get to follow the different protagonists across the Mediterranean. No surprise since the tragedy takes place in a time when the whole known world was divided among three men, the triumvirs. The conflict in question was one which will decide the fate of a whole civilization, for centuries to come. No matter how much fiction Shakespeare had to add to the historical narrative, only his eloquence can grasp the grandeur of what was at stake for these historical figures.
One of the main focus points of the play is of course the tumultuous relationship between Anthony and Cleopatra. It is hard to understand clearly what does unite them. What is clear is that this relationship pushes both of them to some extreme behaviors, mainly mistreating ambassadors!
Anthony is described as a noble man of arms, with long experience on the battlefield and glorious victories to his name. Yet he will yield to the charms of Egypt, personified by its queen. This passion will be the starting point of his decadence. He made difficult maneuvers to come back on track militarily and politically, as a decent rival to Octavius Caesar, but we feel it was too late. The tragic disgrace was inevitable. The lamentation on past glories and sorrow over past fortunate days is a big part of this character. The epitome of this was his escape in Actium. Shakespeare spares nothing in expressing all the shame and horror Anthony felt about himself after the defeat and the dishonorable act of escaping, which laid his shadow on all his past successes.
As for Cleopatra, We find a cruel, superstitious, manipulative, jealous and often delusional woman. She is quit possessive of Anthony but at the same time ready to manipulate him. She tries to make the best deal for herself at the end, but knowing that there is no way she can get one from Octavius she finally gives up, and follows the path of her lover.
Other very interesting sides of the play are some secondary characters, mainly subordinate to the protagonists. In the changing fortunes of their masters, they had to make some tough choices, and find a justification to their actions. The tides were turning and one had to decide between loyalty or doom with a decadent master. This tragic scene won鈥檛 be complete without the moment when the decadent master is deaf to the advice of his loyal friends, which accentuate the drama even more.

I don鈥檛 think I鈥檓 gonna write a very articulate review for this one. I enjoyed it and it鈥檚 a good play but it lacks a little something. I just couldn鈥檛 connect with the characters as much and the whole plot line just wasn鈥檛 my fav (which is super disappointing since this was the play that I was most excited to read cz...hellooooo we have arabs in here yay!). The writing is of course amazing but for some reason this just fell flat for me *shrugs*.

"Sonsuzluk dudaklar谋m谋zda, g枚zlerimizde / Mutluluk ka艧谋m谋z, kirpi臒imizdeydi o zaman / Varl谋臒谋m谋z谋n tek k谋l谋nda bile / Tanr谋sal bir 艧eyler vard谋."
2024'te ba艧lad谋臒谋m Shakespeare k眉lliyat谋n谋 tamamen okuma yolculu臒um yava艧 ad谋mlarla da olsa s眉r眉yor, 2025'te bunu biraz h谋zland谋ral谋m Eyl眉lc眉m, kendime not.
Shakespeare'in en iyi eserleri aras谋nda g枚sterilmiyor Antonius ve Kleopatra malum. Ama i艧te yine iyi, elbette 莽ok iyi. Ne tuhaf, hikayenin ba艧谋n谋 sonunu bilmeme ve normalde tiyatro metni okumay谋 hi莽 sevmememe ra臒men, m眉thi艧 bir merak ve hazla okudum bu kitab谋 - o da i艧te Shakespeare'i Shakespeare yapan 艧eylerden 枚t眉r眉 tabii, en 莽ok da 艧iirli dilinden.
Belki en iyi metinlerinden biri de臒il ama 艧iirsel olarak en g眉莽l眉lerinden biri bence, 眉stelik de i莽inde yazd谋臒谋 en muhte艧em kad谋n karakterlerden biri var; Kleopatra elbette. Co艧kusu, 枚fkesi, tutkusu, saplant谋lar谋, g眉zelli臒i, 莽ocuksulu臒u - her 艧eyiyle muazzam yaz谋lm谋艧 bir karakter sahiden. Hayatta "Shakespeare'in Kleopatra's谋" diye ayr谋 bir ifade olmas谋 艧a艧谋rt谋c谋 de臒il. ("Ya艧 y谋pratamaz o kad谋n谋 / Al谋艧kanl谋k t眉ketemez sonsuz de臒i艧melerini / Ba艧ka her kad谋n uyand谋rd谋臒谋 iste臒i doyurup giderir / O en 莽ok doyurdu臒u zaman ac谋kt谋r谋r insan谋.") Gerek o, gerek Markus Antonius enfes karakterler.

"Onde as almas repousam sobre flores, m茫o com m茫o n贸s iremos, e os espectros deixaremos at贸nitos com nossa postura apaixonada. "

"CLEOPATRA: ... Pero si existi贸 o pudo existir alguno semejante, rebasar谩 la dimensi贸n del sue帽o. A la Naturaleza le faltan materiales para competir con las extra帽as formas de la imaginaci贸n; con todo, imaginar un Antonio era una obra maestra, en que la Naturaleza venc铆a a la imaginaci贸n reduciendo los sue帽os a la nada."
Un 3.5 quiz谩s, creo que esper茅 mucho de esta obra de teatro desde luego por el t铆tulo. Y al saber que la historia es de una pareja pens茅 que me gustar铆a m谩s que "Julio C茅sar" sin embargo no fue as铆.
La historia desde luego cuenta lo que pas贸 con Marco Antonio, general romano muy allegado al difunto Julio C茅sar y Cleopatra, la faraona de Egipto quien llega a cobrar gran amor por 茅l. Desde hace mucho y eso se ve reflejado en la obra existe una tensi贸n muy especial entre dos de los triunviros de Roma: Antonio y Octavio (que en la traducci贸n que le铆 es designado como C脡SAR, por haberse cambiado el nombre en alg煤n momento, aunque creo que eso genera confusi贸n).
Personalmente me disgust贸 un poco c贸mo es retratado tanto Antonio como Cleopatra, si bien tienen grandes momentos, pero su actuaci贸n por momentos parece un poco infantil, sobre todo Cleopatra y tendr铆a que revisar bien los pasajes de esa parte de la historia para ver si realmente fue tanto as铆 como lo pinta Shakespeare. Desde luego a algunos les fascina esa volubilidad y hasta histrionismo de Cleopatra pero yo no lo veo como algo muy positivo o sobre todo descollante. Antonio es vapuleado en parte por las acciones y aunque se menciona que ha sido muy exitoso en campa帽as anteriores resulta por momentos poco cre铆ble. Ambos tienen sus momentos como digo pero fueron muy escasos como para resaltar en la obra. No veo una gran intenci贸n de Shakespeare en demostrar o clarificar alg煤n tema importante en esta obra como s铆 lo he visto en "Julio C茅sar" o "Macbeth", parece una historia contada simplemente.
Me gust贸 el desarrollo de Enobarbo, genera de Marco Antonio y su desenlace, es uno de los puntos buenos de la obra. Espero poder darle una relectura en alg煤n momento y con material hist贸rico revisado. S铆 me gust贸 y la recomiendo.
