| Abstract: | Among the problems with which Shakespeare was faced when he was contemplating Antony and Cleopatra which was to be in some sort a sequel to Julius Caesar (as well as a tragedy in its own right), there were two which he had met before and solved reasonably well. The first is partly technical: how to maintain a fairly close continuity of events with the preceding play in a sequence, and yet allow for a change, often an extreme change, in a principal character. The other, rather more difficult, how to present a personage onstage who is to be truly heroic, without having him fall into Marlovian rhetoric or more rhodomontade. |
