The exploration of Antony and Cleopatra reveals its dual nature as both a historical narrative and a poignant love story. The study delves into Shakespeare's depiction of the shift from paganism to Christianity, highlighting the aftermath of the Roman Republic's fall and the decline of pagan deities. It also addresses the rise of the Roman Empire and the social conditions that fostered the emergence of Christianity, offering a profound philosophical perspective on the play's themes and historical context.
