Antony and Cleopatra (Annotated Edition)

Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra blends politics and passion on an epic scale — the fall of Rome’s greatest general and the fierce, complex queen who defined him. This TritonLit Annotated Edition guides you through the play without weighing it down. Every scene begins with a clear “What’s Just Happened” recap, keeping the story sharp. Context Snacks drop in where they matter most — Roman imperial power, Egyptian identity, gender, and Shakespeare’s stagecraft. After the full text, you’ll find character portraits (Antony, Cleopatra, Octavius Caesar, Enobarbus), themes (empire, loyalty, betrayal, identity), key quotes unpacked with technique and effect, and critical perspectives that open fresh interpretations. Whether you’re a student, a teacher, an actor, or a curious reader, this edition is versatile: a study companion, a rehearsal-room tool, or simply a richer way into one of Shakespeare’s most dazzling tragedies.
