Cleopatra's character. Antony and Cleopatra as, essentially, the one life-affirming tragedy: the tragedy that does what comedies do. "Strong as death is love." Versions of the verb "to bear." Jokes at Mardian's expense. Apostrophes to Antony. How they are together in separation. What I didn't quite say is that Rome and Alexandria are established as social spaces, while Antony is between them and so gone during the period of his transition from one to the other,. More uses of the word where: Where is Antony? Where he is asking, Where is Cleopatra?
