Contrast in Antony and Cleopatra
- Characters
- Antony
- Acts in one way when he's in Egypt and with
Cleopatra; as soon as he has to go back to Rome and
tend to his duties, he is willing to , for example,
marry Octavia because it makes political sense

- Caesar
- Complete opposite to Egyptian culture: he epitomizes the perfect
Roman. Him and Antony don't get on when they first meet because of
the power struggle between them. Antony is older and so should be
more responsible but it is Caesar who has to lead the business. He also
hates drinking, which Antony loves

- Cleopatra
- Epitome of Egyptian culture. Complete contrast to Octavia. This also shows Antony's contrast in women - he enjoys the lavish
company of Cleopatra but says to Octavia, the perfect Roman wife, that he will not be around much

- Pompey
- He is quite double because his overarching
plan is to overthrow the Triumverate yet he still
drinks with them and parties with them. When
Menas tells his plan to kill them, he wishes he
wasn't told and Menas had just done it because
it would be un-noble of him to condone their
death, which shows he has changed slightly
