Anthony and Cleopatra

Anthony and Cleopatra

"Anthony and Cleopatra" is a tragedy ( but also a history ) written by William Shakespeare.

It takes place around the 50ths before J.C. .
The play is about a love story between the Egyptian queen, Cleopatra, and a roman general, Anthony. After a small fight between both of them, Cleopatra, out of revenge, locks herself up in a tower and sends her servants to tell her lover she killed herself. When Anthony hears about that, he immediatly kills himself to reach his love again. So the servant goes back to Cleopatra and tells his queen about Anthony's suicide. Cleopatra is broken down with regret and kills herself to punish her horrible mistake.
Both of them get burried next to eachother and nothing can harm their love anymore.

I did like this play because i'm interested in anything related to ancient Egypt! But still, I think There are too many suicides ( real and fake ones too!! )
