some very very short, set in a variety of locations, including Rome and Alexandria. It must be something to see, and a trick to stage, and it also makes the play flow very very fast. <br><br>This is my first time reading the play. Cleopatra is a fascinating, mercurial character, given lots of great lines. Antony didn't impress me much in the first part of it, but he becomes more interesting as the play goes on, as he is compelled to follow her, even as it leads to his death. (You'd think that characters in Shakespeare plays would learn not to pretend to be dead; it never works out well.)<br><br>Now to go find a movie of the play. And next time it comes around live, it may be fun to see. <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss8.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_270110853" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_270110853"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_270110853" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_270110853" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_270110853"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/pstevem" target="_top">pstevem</a> | Aug 19, 2024 | <a href="/review/270110853"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_255708110" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/11728" data-workid="11728" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0743482859.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0743482859.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0743482859.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"></div>Right away the play catches you off-base, with a scene showing the title romance well underway. We don't get an insight as to how it began until Act 2, scene ii, by which time we have a pretty good idea these guys, unlike say Romeo and Juliet, are lovers crossed not by the stars but by themselves. Antony has a chip on his shoulder from knowing he deserves to rule over Rome and not serve in tandem with two lightweights. Cleopatra is a woman who likes to make her men dance, even to the point when it isn't good for her, but she's such fun and so luminous a presence even when she is the butt of the humor you have to love her with Antony's blind passion. Just watch her play Punch & Judy with a luckless messenger who has to tell her about Antony's new wife.<br><br>Two elements stand out in the reading of this play, beyond the glorious leads. The figure of Enobarbus, Antony's sardonic aide-de-camp, offers a great insight into the romance and the political backdrop with his cagy asides and singular wit. "That truth should be silent I had almost forgot," he tells his boss, but it never really is with Enobarbus on the job.<br><br>The other element is "Antony And Cleopatra's" cinematic quality, with no less than 42 scenes set in Rome, Greece, and Egypt. Lovemaking, drinking, battles, and jump-cuts abound. There are longish scenes, like the final one, but even there the action moves fast. It might be considered a failing that so much of what happens on stage up until the last two acts is basically reaction action to storylines that occur off-frame, but Shakespeare makes the drama come so alive, and draws his focus so remarkably on his imperfect central lovers, that you only marvel at what he is able to accomplish without, say, a staged first meeting between Antony and Cleopatra, or a more direct falling out between Antony and Octavian Caesar.<br><br>One of the great attractions for me of reading this play is it works as a kind of antidote to Shakespeare's other celebrated romance. Romeo And Juliet are lovers in the full bloom of youth, toyed with by others' ambitions. Antony and Cleopatra are older and more in charge of their lives, yet make an even bigger hash of things. A street fight in Verona pales in comparison to Actium, yet I find Antony and Cleopatra as I get older far more rewarding company, with their refusal to live their lives in accordance with other's wants. <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss10.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_255708110" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_255708110"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_255708110" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_255708110" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_255708110"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/b00kdarling87" target="_top">b00kdarling87</a> | Jan 7, 2024 | <a href="/review/255708110"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_227333066" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/11728" data-workid="11728" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0743482859.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0743482859.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0743482859.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"></div>جدای از زیبایی نمایشنامه و داستان، دو نکته‌ی برجسته نظر من رو به خودش جلب کرد: <br><br>اول نوع پرده‌بندی در این نمایشنامه که انگار در پرده پیشین داستان تمام می‌شد و داستان دیگه‌ای آغاز می‌شد... مثلاً در پرده‌ی دوم آنتونی و قیصر درگیر توطئه‌ی پومپی هستند، اما در پایان پرده‌ی دوم این قسمت از قصه به پایان می‌رسه و داستان بخش دیگری آغاز می‌شه. <br><br>دوم نوع شخصیت‌پردازی شخصیت‌ها... تا آخر نمایشنامه با اینکه با شخصیت‌های اصلی هم‌دردی می‌کنید، اما نمی‌تونید با طیب خاطر حق رو بهشون بدید یا بگید که دنبال باطل رفتند... شخصیت‌ها تا حدود زیادی (اونقدر که در قرن 17 اجازه می‌داده و مخاطب رو می‌تونسته درگیر کنه) خاکستری‌اند... این نکته وقتی جالب‌تر می‌شه که این نمایشنامه از روی زندگی شخصیت‌هایی نوشته شده که واقعاً وجود داشتند و خاکستری بودنشون به نمایش بعد انسانی‌شون بسیار کمک کرده. <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss8.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_227333066" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_227333066"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_227333066" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_227333066" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_227333066"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/Mahdi.Lotfabadi" target="_top">Mahdi.Lotfabadi</a> | Oct 16, 2022 | <a href="/review/227333066"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_221518162" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/11728" data-workid="11728" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0743482859.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0743482859.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0743482859.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"></div>This tragedy features triumvir Mark Antony and Queen of Egypt Cleopatra. She loves him although he is married. Octavius Caesar, the third political figure in the book, keeps the play's action interesting. Based on texts from Plutarch's <i>Lives</i>, we learn a little history of the Roman Republic prior to the time of Christ. It's not my favorite Shakespeare, but I liked it better after reading it this second time. I probably would not have re-read it, if <spoiler>I"d remembered how Cleopatra died.</spoiler> It's a classic, and a great way to share a little ancient history. <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss7.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_221518162" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_221518162"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_221518162" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_221518162" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_221518162"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/thornton37814" target="_top">thornton37814</a> | Jul 28, 2022 | <a href="/review/221518162"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> </div></div></div><div class='reviewnav'><div class="right"><strong><a href="#" onclick="loadReviewsIntoContainer('',0,3,3,'wp_reviews',5,'','11728','',false, null, 'profile');return false;">date<span class="sortArrow"> ▼</span></a></strong> | <a href="#" onclick="loadReviewsIntoContainer('',0,2,3,'wp_reviews',5,'','11728','',false, null, 'profile'); return false;">votes</a></div>Showing 1-5 of 57 (<a href="#" onclick="loadReviewsIntoContainer('',5,0,3,'wp_reviews',5,'','11728','', false, null, 'profile'); return false;">next</a> | <a href="#" onclick="loadReviewsIntoContainer('',0,0,3,'wp_reviews',10000,'','11728','', false, null, 'profile'); return false;">show all</a>)</div></div></div></div></div></div><div id="workpagesort_53" class="quickedit light flipped"><div class="nav"><div class="sectionhead_rbutcontainer" style="float: right;"><span class="sectionTitleHelp"><span class="sectionTitleHelp"><a href="https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Published_Reviews" class="blacklink" title="Help"><img style="vertical-align:middle;" class="helpIcon" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/helpq.png" alt="?"></a></span></span></div> <a name="publishedreviews"></a><span class="navInfoTitle"><span class="divotBig" onclick="LibraryThing.work.handleSectionHide(this, 'mediareviews', 'u_ae1cdace', '0');"><span class="chdivot" style="font-size:9px;vertical-align:bottom;">▼</span></span>Published reviews</span></div><div class="qelcontent" id="u_ae1cdace" style="display:block;"><div id="mediareviews_container"><div id="mediareviews">no reviews | <a href="#" onclick="LibraryThing.mediareviews.edit({'workid':'11728'});return false;">add a review</a></div> </div></div></div><div id="workpagesort_56" class="quickedit light flipped"><div class="nav"><a name="otherauthors"></a><span class="navInfoTitle"><span class="divotBig" onclick="LibraryThing.work.handleSectionHide(this, 'otherauthors', 'u_4f4a26aa', '0');"><span class="chdivot" style="font-size:9px;vertical-align:bottom;">▼</span></span>Other authors</span></div><div class="qelcontent" id="u_4f4a26aa" style="display:block;"><div id="otherauthors_container"><p style="margin-top: 5px !important;"><a href="javascript:otherauthors_edit(11728)">» Add other authors (241 possible)</a></p><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" class="otherauthor"><tr class="head"><td>Author name</td><td>Role</td><td>Type of author</td><td>Work?</td><td>Status</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/author/shakespearewilliam">Shakespeare, William</a></td><td>—</td><td>primary author</td><td>all editions</td><td>confirmed</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/author/shakespeare">Shakespeare</a></td><td>—</td><td>main author</td><td>all editions</td><td>confirmed</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/author/shakespearewilliam">Shakespeare, William</a></td><td>—</td><td>main author</td><td>all editions</td><td>confirmed</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/author/andrewstephena">Andrew, Stephen A.</a></td><td>Translator</td><td>secondary author</td><td>some editions</td><td>confirmed</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/author/batejonathan">Bate, Jonathan</a></td><td>Editor</td><td>secondary author</td><td>some editions</td><td>confirmed</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/author/bevingtondavid">Bevington, David</a></td><td>Editor</td><td>secondary author</td><td>some editions</td><td>confirmed</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/author/bloomharold">Bloom, Harold</a></td><td>Afterword</td><td>secondary author</td><td>some editions</td><td>confirmed</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/author/brissaudpierre">Brissaud, Pierre</a></td><td>Illustrator</td><td>secondary author</td><td>some editions</td><td>confirmed</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/author/brooksharoldf">Brooks, Harold F.</a></td><td>Editor</td><td>secondary author</td><td>some editions</td><td>confirmed</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/author/canbyhenryseidel">Canby, Henry Seidel</a></td><td>—</td><td>secondary author</td><td>some editions</td><td>confirmed</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/author/caserh">Case, R.
