In Act 4, Scene 14, “an un-Romaned Antony” laments, “O, thy vile lady!/ She has robb’d me of my sword”, (22–23)—critic Arthur L. Little Jr. writes that here “he seems to echo closely victim of raptus, of bride theft, who has lost the sword she wishes to turn against herself. By the time Antony tries to use his sword to kill himself, it amounts to little more than a stage prop”. Antony is reduced to a political object, “the pawn in a power game between Caesar and Cleopatra”.

Good lord, you don’t actually own the Japanese restaurant I’m in, do you? All writings in Japanese.

It threw me off for the longest time reconciling my read on you and what was going on around us. Then I began to piece it all together that week in December. “Could I have been in love – all this time – with the wrong man? Even if partially so? Was my relationship with Sebastian actually obsessive and intense? My compulsion towards Sebastian, was that real? Or was it just a fiction to make everything fit together because I didn’t have all the pieces of the puzzle yet?”. Replace Sebastian with Anton and we have a beautiful fit for an ending.
My only gripe is that he probably used you. You cannot tell the wheat from the chaff for the life of you. In all your life with your piss poor dating history you landed on me? More like he set you loose on me. Is that accurate? […] You are missing so many marks. It’s because you are a pawn in all this. Not me.
That’s why you were scared to meet me, isn’t it? Because I’d have been disappointed. I’d have figured out the jig is up. It’s not all you behind the scene. And the parts that I find resonating.. they come from him. You must have figured out you’ve been played for awhile. And that’s your greatest fear.
