Author Description

"Antony and Cleopatra" is closely related to two other Shakespearean plays, "Julius Caesar" and "Coriolano", all three called "Roman tragedies". The interrelationship fabric of textual and oral traditions that converge in "Antonio y Cleopatra" is outlined as a complex network under the key of dramatic writing. The representation of Antony and Cleopatra as symbols or archetypes goes beyond the historical or contextual instance and maintains the elements of individuation necessary to bring the representation closer to reality, to the person.
