Nell’Antonio e Cleopatra (1606-07) Shakespeare insegue un difficile equilibrio tra dramma storico e tragedia individuale. Schiavo della sensualità e del fascino maturo di Cleopatra, Antonio abbandona la sposa Ottavia e abdica al ruolo di triumviro. Battuto da Ottaviano prima ad Azio, poi ad Alessandria, alla falsa notizia della morte della regina d’Egitto si lascia cadere sulla spada spirando infine tra le braccia dell’amata che a sua volta riconosce nel suicidio l’unica decisione onorevole. Se l’integerrimo Ottaviano incarna la Realpolitik imperiale, il mondo dell’ordine e dell’efficienza romana, il corrotto Antonio esprime la tragedia dell’uomo d’azione che soccombe a una lussuria tanto indegna quanto irresistibile, ma anche la grandezza d’animo di chi rinuncia al freddo tornaconto politico in nome della spontaneità e della pienezza di vita. Sui due protagonisti maschili campeggia Cleopatra, cortigiana d’Oriente, principessa ammaliatrice, ma soprattutto eroina di una storia d’amore che attraverso la poesia di Shakespeare sfida la morte e il tempo.

Shakespeare does it again. He mingles the historical with the imaginary, the public with the private, the tragedy with the theatrical to infuse life into one the most popular couples in ancient Rome; the star-crossed lovers Anthony and Cleopatra . Love and war were never more indistinguishably fused. T Leggi tutto
Book Review 4 out of 5 stars to Antony and Cleopatra , a play published in 1606 by William Shakespeare .This is one of my favorite Shakespearean plays, partially for some of the reality on which it is based. Some know the full story, others know bits and pieces. Cleopatra, famous in her own
Mark Antony is a real pain in the asp.
I wish you all the joys of the worm. You know, for the longest time, I had placed this of all of Shakespeare's plays among the highest in my estimation, for where else could I have so many references to melting or even have an early punk band write a song about it? (Melt, Siouxsie and the Banshees) In Leggi tutto
“Give me my robe, put on my crown; I have Immortal longings in me” ― William Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra A great Shakespeare play, but one (for me) that is still overpowered by Shakespeare's earlier tragedies. The story is based on Plutarch's Lives (North's translation). The weight and strength Leggi tutto
Shakespeare at his best...😊.
