"A. C. Bradley considered only four of Shakespeare's characters to be 'inexaustible': Hamlet, Cleopatra, Falstaff, and Iago. (...) Of Shakepearean representations of women, Cleopatra's is the most subtle and formidable, by universal consent. Critics never can agree on very much about her: Shakespeare's control of the various perspectives on her is so astute in this play, more perhaps than in any other, that the audience is given an enigmatic range of possible judgments and interpretations. Since Anthony clearly does not understand her, are we likely to do any better?"
