Line 42:
** And by figs, she means testicles.
* [[The Dragon]]: Taurus, to Caesar.
* [[Et Tu, Brute?]]: {{spoiler|Enobarbus'}} betrayal affects Antony deeply.
* [[Exact Words]]: The soothesayer is very fond of this.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: Deconstructed with {{spoiler|Enobarbus}} - his betrayal makes him so upset, {{spoiler|he dies.}}
Line 67:
{{quote| '''Enobarbus:''' When it pleaseth their deities to take the wife of a man from him, it shows to man the tailors of the earth, comforting therein, that when old robes are worn out, there are members to make new. If there were no more women but Fulvia, then had you indeed a cut, and the case to be lamented.}}
* [[Name and Name]]
* [[Passive -Aggressive Kombat]]: Cleopatra's specialty and one of her many means of trying to manipulate other people.
* [[Posthumous Character]]: Fulvia's dead before she ever gets on stage.
* [[Pride]]: A trait that the Romans exemplify quite a bit, to the point where they view the Egyptians as inferior for their lifestyle.
Line 82:
* [[Shout Out]]: Enobarbus' famous description of Cleopatra's barge is paraphrasing the description in North's Plutarch, Shakespeare's source.
* [[Straight Man and Wise Guy]]: Alexas plays the straight man to Charmian's wise guy.
* [[Tag Team Suicide]]: Two examples, actually; Antony's servant decides to off himself when Antony does, leaving Antony to kill himself... [[Buffy -Speak|himself]]. He screws up, though, and gets brought to Cleopatra, who also decides to kill herself.
* [[The Extremist Was Right]]: Whilst Antony and Cleopatra are more sympathetic overall, it becomes increasingly difficult to argue that the world would be better off with them in charge rather than Caesar.
* [[Thinking Out Loud]]: Quite often. This is a Shakespeare play after all.
