Correct me if I'm wrong.....

I want to change my personal view of Antony, the General in Octavius Caesar big army. In the previous post, I totally ruled out Antony as a scoundrel who was an opportunist both in his love and his position. But as the story goes on, he managed to impress me with his love for Cleopatra. Guess that he was protecting Cleopatra from Caesar when he was instructed to marry Octavia. Not that Caesar is mean, but Cleopatra once got his father down at her feet (its obviously normal for him to loath Cleopatra) Torn between his boss and his his ladylove, Antony acted like any other love-sick boy - going after Cleopatra and left the battlefield he was supposed to fight....now that's what every woman wants in a man. But Cleopatra herself was full of flaws. One that eventually led to the lovebird's death. Clearly suicide was an act of honour for the Romans and the Egyptians but honestly watching one guy kills himself minutes after another guy did the same thing will be totally gruesome. I'm saying about 5-6 people here......committing suicide simultaneously in one play production. I'll be damned if tears don't come rolling down my cheeks.
