Abstract or Introduction
Shakespeare’s ‘Antony And Cleopatra’ is one of the five greatest tragedies, the other four being, ‘Macbeth’, ‘Othello’, ‘Hamlet’ and ‘King Lear’. It is also considered a mature love story and a more prominent attempt than his previous bid ‘Romeo And Juliet’. The play has provided tremendous scope to explore multiple disciplines, which include politics, geography, history, psychology, among others. Therefore, it has a cross-cultural and multi-dimensional appeal towards it. But the present essay endeavours to enlighten upon its dominant thematic aspect, which it argues to be love overall and, in which Shakespeare himself found something so great and surpassing, that he tried to pen down its unsolicited grandeur into one of his eloquent poetic tragedies.
