Symbolism and Universal applications of Antony & Cleopatra, May 11, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Antony and Cleopatra (Cliffs Notes) (Paperback)
Anthony and cleopatra has a universal theme, because of the concepts of life which deals with true love ,and the quest for power..It is a universal theme because of the tragedy of the two lovers who ends up dead , by not compromising their true love,and it also show that no matter how high a person is , whether she is a queen or an emperor , their lives are still the same as ours. the parallell of their stories would be the same like any regular person, because of the sadness of an unfullileed dream , full of deception.It also deals with the woman 's beauty , and how she uses it to get what she really want to have, and her ability to use her intelligence to get what she wants , by her conniving method of luring Ceasar to her bed. Anthony is a weak guy, because he was in the trap, which, cleopatra has set for him..In the end , they all die, because of the deception of their lives , which are not true.
