Caesar and Cleopatra

"Caesar and Cleopatra" by George Bernard Shaw; Stanley Weintraub (Introduction). Caesar and Cleopatra satirizes Shakespeare's use of history and comments wryly on the politics of Shaw's own time, but the undertone of melancholy makes it one of his most affecting plays. |...| Ruby's Review at Goodreads.com: "There is a continual compare and contrast between Cleopatra and Caesar throughout the entire play. Touchingly innocent in many ways and very tender. Caesar's relationship to Cleopatra is at times like a lover's but whenever she acts up he is strongly paternal. They are very similar in many ways. Staunchly loyal, with very firm ideas how a ruler should be".
