As a result, there was a vacuum in Rome's political power, and the two rival parties immediately fought against each other. After the Brutus faction fell, an internal struggle began between Antony and Octavian, who had seized power... "Antony and Cleopatra" can be called Shakespeare's fifth greatest tragedy, written in 1607. "Coriolanna" is a Roman historical tragedy written by Shakespeare in his later years. It tells the tragedy of Marcellus (known as Coriolanna), a hero of the Roman Republic, who was expelled from Rome because of his suspicious character and bad temper, which offended the public.

"Antony and Cleopatra" is a Roman tragedy written by Shakespeare around 1607. It is derived from "Lives of the Greeks and Romans" written by the ancient Roman historian Plutarch. The play tells the story of one of the three chief leaders of Rome at that time: Antony was obsessed with the beauty of Queen Cleopatra of Egypt and had no time to attend to national affairs. He spent all day hanging out with her in Egypt, drunkenly and dreamily. Later, Rome suffered from the rebellion of Sextus Pompeii, the invasion of pirates, the invasion of the Eastern Parthians, and the news that Antony's wife died because of his failure to challenge Caesar. Finally, he cheered up and returned to Rome resolutely to serve his motherland. Antony then reconciled with Octavian because of the situation and married his sister to consolidate their political relationship. This also made Cleopatra sad and angry. Finally, after all the wars were reconciled and subsided, Anthony couldn't wait to return to the Queen of Egypt. Later, Pompey was killed and his colleague Lepides was deposed, which led to the final confrontation between Antony and Octavian. In the battle at sea, Antony unwisely followed the Queen of Egypt to escape and was defeated, and eventually committed suicide in grief. Cleopatra finally saw Octavian's true face and committed suicide.
