## Resource

All for Love is a poignant tragedy by John Dryden that delves into the tumultuous love affair between Roman general Marc Antony and the enchanting Egyptian queen Cleopatra, culminating in their tragic double-suicide. Unlike Shakespeare's more grandiose portrayal, Dryden's focus on the lovers' final days in Alexandria offers a deeply emotional exploration of themes such as loyalty, fidelity, and the complexities of masculinity. This elegant drama resonates today as it examines the enduring nature of love and friendship in the face of impending defeat, making it a timeless gem of the Restoration repertoire that continues to captivate audiences with its rich emotional depth and insight into the human condition.
