Act 2, Scene 1
Allusion:
“That sleep and feeding may prorogue his honor/ even till a let he’d dullness”
- In the beginning of Act 2, Pompey is speaking to two of his officers discussing how Pompey shouldn’t be too confident because Caesar and Lepidus are out and prepared to fight and defend their country. Pompey says that he knows they’re “in Rome together, / Looking for Antony.” He thinks that Antony is distracted by his pleasures of his life in Egypt (Cleopatra)

Act 2, Scene 2
Gender roles:
“If Antony were to take Octavia as his wife…Since she would love both of/you, you two would be joined in that love.”
- Agrippa is suggesting Antony to marry Octavia now that Fulvia is dead. He is doing so because he sees how Antony marrying Octavia helps them politically and binds the men together. It keeps Antony in Rome, instead of in Egypt.

“other women cloy / The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry / where she most satisfies.”
- Enobarbus thoroughly describes Cleopatra’s love and says it’s addictive but dangerous, how it only makes Antony want more.

Act 2, Scene 3
Dramatic irony:
“If thou dost play with him at any game, / Thou art sure to lose.”
- Antony tries to guess his future but in reality, the audience knows how it’s going to play out. Just how the soothsayer told him

5 events:
-When Antony leaves to Rome it has Pompey worried
“But how the fear of us may cement their divisions and bind up”
-Antony agrees to marry Octavia but everyone knows his heart is truly in Egypt she’ll never stop sucking him in
“And for his ordinary pays his heart for what his eyes eat only”
-Cleopatra has Antony hooked on her
“My bended hook shall pierce their slimy jaws, and as I draw them up I’ll think every one an Antony”
-She’s crazy and she realizes it
“These hands do lack nobility that they strike a meaner than myself”
-Ends with Pompey refusing the idea of killing everyone to be able to become ruler

Events

* the opposition  believe they have the upper hand because of Antony's "idleness"

* Agrippa suggests that Antony marry Caesar's sister, Octavia. They believe that it is a good idea

* The soothsayer tells Antony to have a "gap" between him and Caesar because he is weak around him and Antony brushes it off too quickly

* The triumvirate form a treaty with Pompey

* Menas had the chance to kill the triumvirate but because he told Pompey, and because Pompey is an honorable man, Menas can no longer do this

methods

* foreshadowing- the soothsayer, Enobarbus believing that antony will go back to cleopatra, lepidus's inability to hold his drink

* Honor- some believe that antony is an honorable man and that marrying Octavia will solve every because he will stay faithful. Honor is what stopped Menas from killing the triumvirate

Graphic:
- Image of Antony and behind him are Caesar and Lepidus, to his left is Octavia and Rome but to his right is Cleopatra with her riches.
5 Events:
- Pompey speaking. "But how the fear of us/ May cement their divisions and bund up/ The petty differences" (Act 2, Sc. 2). The cement will only strengthen their differences making it impossible to unite.
- "The heart of brothers govern in our loves/ And sway our great designs" (Act 2, Sc. 2). Octavia is used as a compromise between Antony and Octavius Caesar.
- Lepidus says to Antony, "not sickness should detain me" (Act 2, Sc.2). He later on got drunk and couldn't handle his liquor.
- "And for his ordinary pays his heart/ For what his eyes eat only" (Act 2, Sc.2)
The audience is aware that his affair with Cleopatra will continue to ruin Antony.
- Act 2, Sc.5 where Cleopatra "strikes" the messenger. Important because it is snakes that strike, thus representing her as a snake.

Torres, Yailin
I'm really sorry for taking up so much space. I added a brief explanation of the most important events that occured in each scene in act ii, the 2 graphics and 3 methods.
Act II, scene iii

1.       Antony gives promise to Octavia and expresses to her that his duties will keep him from being with her and that he will avoid any sexual discretion from his very past. Octavius Caesar and Octavia leave him while Antony departs to be with his Egyptian queen. Later he finds himself with the soothsayer and he asks him about his future. The soothsayer tells him how Caesar will rise to higher standards than Antony will so he needs to keep his space between them. The soothsayer also articulates that Caesar will overshadow Antony’s ruling and power so Anthony disregards his fortune and goes seek pleasure in Cleopatra.

Act II, scene iv

2.       In this scene in act 2,Lepidus orders Maecenas and Agrippa to gather their soldiers and meet at Mount Misenum, where they shall confront Pompey’s army.

Act II, scene v

3.       Cleopatra amuses herself with her servants like chairman, and Mardian,a enuch as she thinks back about Antony and in this time her messenger comes back from Italy. The Messenger when he enters Cleopatra’s chamber he is well aware of her reaction to his say. Antony will bewed Octavia. Cleopatra in deep grief and anger treats the messenger viciously. The messenger repeats the unbarring truth and asks about her physical appearance. The way her hair looks, her age, and her actions.

Act II, scene vi

4.       Before commencing a war, Pompey and the triumvirs hold a meeting. Pompey tells Caesar, Lepidus, and Antony that he is fighting to punish his father, whose overthrow by Julius Caesar led him into Egypt, where he was murdered. Antony notifies Pompey that in spite of the latter’s power at sea, the triumvirs’ militia will succeed. The 3 offer Pompey regulations over Sicily and Sardinia should he agree to rid the sea of pirates and to send payments of wheat to Rome as a tax.

Act II, scene vi

5.       Pompey invites the Romans aboard his ship for dinner, and the triumvirs join him. Enobarbus and Menas stay behind discussing their military careers, the current political situation, and Antony’s marriage to Octavia. Enobarbus repeats that he is sure Antony will inevitably return to Egypt. After the talk, the two go to dinner.

3 Methods

- Simile: "The fancy outwork nature: on each side her
Stood pretty dimpled boys, like smiling Cupids,
With divers-colour'd fans, whose wind did seem
To glow the delicate cheeks which they did cool,
And what they undid did."

-Personification: "Purple the sails, and so perfumed that
The winds were love-sick with them; the oars were silver,
Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke, and made
The water which they beat to follow faster,..."

-Irony: "It beggar'd all description: she did lie
In her pavilion--cloth-of-gold of tissue—
O'er-picturing that Venus where we see
The fancy outwork nature: on each side her
Stood pretty dimpled boys."

" I know they are in Rome together,/ Looking for Antony. But all the charms of love,/ Salt Cleopatra"
"I cannot hope/ Caesar and Antony shall well greet together./ His wife that's dead did trespasses to Caesar"
"My being in Eygpt , Caesar, what was 't to you?"
"The third o' th' world is yours"
" And though i make this marriage for my peace/ I' th' East my pleasure lies"

Three methods:
- Soliloquy
-word play
-foreshadowing
