As its Shakespeare, I wish i could give it a higher mark but I won't for this one. I particularly enjoyed the ending but the plot meandered a lot to cover history (which I don't even know is right) but the beautiful language helped as well.

Still one of my favorite Shakespeares, and Cleopatra is still one of my favorite Shakespearean characters. Almost all of her dialogue is so beautiful. Mark Antony loses some of the vigor he has in Julius Caesar but maybe that's the point, and when it comes down to it he can still turn a phrase. And don't even mention their scenes together.
"...And make death proud to take us" is one of those lines that's stuck with me ever since I first read it years ago. Both main characters' death scenes, too, are beautiful, more beautiful than Hamlet's and definitely more so than Romeo's and Juliet's. I just love this play.
