{{quote|''Age cannot wither her, not custom stale,''
''Her infinite variety.''|Enobarbus, on Cleopatra 2.2.244}}
Line 34:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Enobarbus, who always has something snarky to say about Antony's behaviour around Cleo.
** Throughout Act 1, Scene 2, Charmian makes snarky remarks about all of the soothsayer's predictions. The soothsayer eventually gets in the game.
{{quote|
* [[Death by Despair]] Enobarbus. But not before he finishes his nice long monologue, of course.
* [[Decoy Antagonist]]: Pompey.
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: Being a Shakespearean play, this happens to many characters. Enobarbus, for exactly, actually ''dies'' from despair.
* [[Double Entendre]]:
{{quote|
** And by figs, she means testicles.
* [[The Dragon]]: Taurus, to Caesar.
Line 52:
* [[Four-Star Badass]]: Antony and Taurus. Even Caesar respects Antony's military prowess.
* [[The Hedonist]]: Egypt's inhabitants exemplify this to some extent. Mark Antony, having lived in Egypt for a while now also seems to be holding these ideals closely.
{{quote|
* [[Knight in Sour Armor]]: Enobarbus.
* [[Living Emotional Crutch]]: According to Enobarbus, [[Unfortunate Implications|men to women, because women supposedly can't control their emotions]].
{{quote|
** It should be noted, Antony has quite the opposite opinion, at least for Cleopatra.
* [[Loss of Identity]]: Another part of Antony's character due to his self view as a Roman soldier and his hedonistic actions and time spent in Egypt.
Line 65:
* [[Manly Tears]]: Antony's men complain that Antony is making them cry during his supposedly-[[Rousing Speech]].
* [[Men Are the Expendable Gender]]: Inverted, due to the time period's values and according to Enobarbus, women are.
{{quote|
* [[Name and Name]]
* [[Passive-Aggressive Kombat]]: Cleopatra's specialty and one of her many means of trying to manipulate other people.
Line 73:
* [[Rousing Speech]]: Subverted-- Antony's speech to his troops his rather... depressing.
* [[Shaped Like Itself]]: Antony describing the crocodile to Lepidus makes this the [[Trope Namer]].

'''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.<br />
'''Lepidus:''' What colour is it of?<br />
