Meaning and analysis

Kwize Master After Antony's military fiasco, Cleopatra made Antony believe that she was dead, hoping to calm his anger and win his heart back. But the result is not as expected: on the contrary, Antony falls into depressed mood, and imagines that the gods must despise the state in which he finds himself.
