Reading the play in the light of the fundamental opposition between
measure (control, constraint) and excess (bounty), Tony Tanner focuses on
how Antony and Cleopatra constantly seeks to transcend the limitations of
language. The body is seen as the final boundary by the lovers who cannot
be contained, even by words, and who triumph as they move towards the
unbounded spaces of infinity.
Keywords: Antony and Cleopatra, Shakespeare’s Rome, Boundaries, Excess,
The limits of language, The body
