The Tragic End of Cleopatra
William Shakespeare was an uncommon talent in the sky of English Literature. He was second to none who had created a revolution in the history of Mark Antony and Cleopatra. Cleopatra was his uncommon creation which was bedded on his strong wilforce and his integrated efforts. In the history, Cleopatra was a beautiful lady who by dint of courage and perseverance won the heart of Mark Antony, the emperor of Roman empire after the death of Julius Cesar.
The last days and death of Cleopatra and Mark Antony have been vividly reflected as per history. Antony died a slow death after an initially unsuccessful suicide attempt by way of a stab wound to the abdomen. It is argued that Cleopatra (and her two servants) probably committed suicide through poisoning, rather than the bite of an asp (viper) as is popularly believed.
Death occurred very hastily and the bodies showed no recognisable snake bite wounds. Fatal viper bites are characteristically associated with prominent, swollen and haemorrhagic wounds. Cobras may cause rapid death in spite of minor bite wounds, but in order to kill three adults, the snake would have to be large.
According to the Legend, it is evident that the reptile was smuggled to Cleopatra in a small basket of figs, which would not have been possible with a large snake. The relationship between Cleopatra and Mark Antony was one of the best-known love stories in history, and their double suicide in the year 30 BC has been dramatized many times through the centuries.
Writers and historians have created such diverse images of Cleopatra that it is difficult to distinguish between reality and myth — the capable and beloved last Queen of Egypt versus the romanticised version of a seductive, ambitious, beautiful woman manipulating all around her to her own advantage.
This thematic efforts, which reflects on the last days of Cleopatra and Antony, draws much of its evidence from the writing of Plutarch, a Greek who lived roughly a century after Cleopatra and based his information on contemporary texts which are no longer extant, and on the memoirs of Cleopatra’s physician, Olympus.Shakespeare has tried to explain the tragedy of Cleopatra in a vivid and realistic gesture which is uncommon in the history of English literature.
