Here comes the man.............!
Shakespeare is here again!!..parading his attempt to tackle on one of the most popular romantic stories of all times. Even if he must cross the Mediterranean to describe Rome and Egypt. I wonder how Shakespeare collect his datas upon writing this masterpiece....he must have travelled a lot. But Dr. Edwin reminded us that this story is an imagined fiction which uses real life characters. So Shakespeare was making it all up and I evidently believed that he was writing a history piece..what an imagination he had indeed. As far as i have read the play (mind you, its a difficult one...hush!), you'd be torn between labeling Cleopatra as a desperate femme fatale or just a lady in love..But Antony, Antony is another story. I haven't got to the part where Shakespeare revealed the truth bout him, but i sense that he is a definite scoundrel. Daniel Cleaver of the Roman Era.......
