Summary: "All for Love; Or, The World Well Lost: A Tragedy" by John Dryden is a tragedy written in the late 17th century. Focusing on the tumultuous relationship between Mark Antony and Cleopatra, the play explores themes of love, loyalty, and the tragic consequences of desire that pits personal affection against political duty. Antony, once a powerful Roman general, finds himself ensnared in a struggle between his love for Cleopatra and the pressures of his Roman obligations, which ultimately lead to his downfall. The opening of the tragedy sets the stage for this conflict, introducing characters such as Serapion and Alexas, who discuss ominous portents relating to Antony's fortunes. As they express concern over the political tensions surrounding Antony and his relationship with Cleopatra, the gravity of his choices becomes apparent. Antony is depicted as a man in despair, haunted by his past decisions and the impending threat posed by Octavius Caesar. The dialogue reveals Antony's inner turmoil and foreshadows the tragic path he is set to follow, torn between his love for Cleopatra and the duties of leadership that threaten to consume him.
