The
play Anthony and Cleopatra belongs to one group of Shakespeare's
plays, along with Othello, King Lear, Macbeth and Timon of Athens,
which were written at approximately the same time, and deal with
the same basic topic: what happens when "great" and "noble" minds
give way under the assault of personal emotion. One of the greatest
playwrights of all times has used the most widely known love legend
from antiquity as a basis for his universal tale about the relationship
between love and political power and between the public and the
private, as well as about the conflict between two ages with differing
political concepts.
This is one of the most complex and most challenging of Shakespeare’s
plays which on the one hand portrays a dark and intimate analysis
of “the fatal attraction” and individual sexuality,
located in the mysterious and sensuous world of ancient Egypt,
and on the other, an analysis of public responsibility and the
tragedy which ensues from fatal political division. The issue
of the conflict between the private and the public, duty and
feeling – the favourite Shakespearean idea originating
from his earlier historical plays – has been perfected
in Anthony and Cleopatra. This is a timeless literary piece which
is endlessly inspiring, not only in terms of dramaturgy, but
also in terms of the world we currently live in.
