Annotation:
	"Argue[s] that Enobarbus's demise aligns symbolically with Cleopatra's as an instance of an easy death, and moreover a death that . . . enables the character to avoid the full weight of the catastrophe that conventionally occurs at the end of a tragic drama." Concludes that "Shakespeare's treatment of Enobarbus and Cleopatra offers interesting resonances with other late plays that have tragic elements but fit uneasily into any single genre.
