A review by lattelibrarian
Antony and Cleopatra by William Shakespeare

5.0

This play, while engaging and informative, does take some effort to read. I'm always a fan of Shakespeare, and reading his Roman plays for a class has been very fun. Cleopatra, while a strong and manipulative character, has just as many problems as Antony does. There is an interesting dichotomy between "the West" and "the East," considering it was written before colonialism. There are many other fun parallels and dichotomies that I enjoy learning about and analyzing.
