ACT 3 SCENE 11

Ashamed, Antony urges his followers to take his remaining gold and defect to Caesar. They refuse, but he urges “Let that be left / Which leaves itself” and his sense of having somehow “left” his true self shows his awareness of the divisions and contradictions in his identity. Cleopatra is led in by her attendants, who urge her to “comfort” Antony. Cleopatra begs his forgiveness for her “fearful sails” and claims that she did not know that he would follow, but Antony argues that she knew his heart was tied to her “rudder” “by th’strings.” He says that his sword was “made weak” by his “affection” for her, an acknowledgment of his emasculation. Seeing how upset Cleopatra is, however, he forgives her and asks if his messenger has returned.
