Line 14:
* [[Shaped Like Itself]]
{{tropelist}}
* [[Adaptational Angst Upgrade]]: Enobarbus, after his {{spoiler|[[Face Heel Turn]]}}.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Enobarbus has only a few lines in the Plutarch.
Line 74:
* [[Shaped Like Itself]]: Antony describing the crocodile to Lepidus makes this the [[Trope Namer]].
{{quote|'''Lepidus:''' What manner o' thing is your crocodile?
'''Mark Antony:''' It is [[Shaped Like Itself|shaped, sir, like itself]]; and it is as broad as it hath breadth: it is just so high as it is, and moves with its own organs: it lives by that which nourisheth it; and the elements once out of it, it transmigrates.
'''Lepidus:''' What colour is it of?
'''Mark Antony:''' Of it own colour too.
'''Lepidus:''' 'Tis a strange serpent.
'''Mark Antony:''' 'Tis so. And the tears of it are wet. }}
* [[Shoo Out the Clowns]]: Weirdly averted-- at the play's climax, after Antony has died and Cleopatra has decided to kill herself rather than be paraded to Rome as Octavius' trophy, she calls for someone to bring her some asps... and that someone is a Clown, who proceeds to make bawdy puns about the "worm" eating women. This happens ''right before Cleopatra kills herself''.
