Antony and Cleopatra
1. Read this passage, and then answer the question that follows it.
CLEOPATRA If thou and nature can so gently part, The stroke of death is as a lover’s pinch, Which hurts and is desired. Dost thou lie still? If thus thou vanishest, thou tell’st the world It is not worth leave-taking. CHARMIAN Dissolve, thick cloud, and rain, that I may say The gods themselves do weep. CLEOPATRA This proves me base. If she first meet the curled Antony He’ll make demand of her, and spend that kiss Which is my heaven to have. She takes an aspic from the basket and puts it to her breast Come, thou mortal wretch, With thy sharp teeth this knot intrinsicate Of life at once untie. Poor venomous fool, Be angry, and dispatch. O, couldst thou speak, That I might hear thee call great Caesar ass Unpolicied! CHARMIAN O eastern star! CLEOPATRA Peace, peace. Dost thou not see my baby at my breast, That sucks the nurse asleep? CHARMIAN O, break! O, break! CLEOPATRA As sweet as balm, as soft as air, as gentle. O Antony! She puts another aspic to her arm Nay, I will take thee too. What should I stay— She dies (from Act 5, Scene 2) |
How does Shakespeare make this such a powerful and memorable ending to the play?
