The Struggle Between Reason and Emotion In his opening lines to Demetrius, Philo complains tion

Artony has abandoned the military endeavors on which that xeputation is based for Cleopatra's sake.His criticism of Antony's "Jolage," or stupidity, introduces a tension between reason and emction that runs throughout the play (Li.1). Antony and Cleopatra's first exchange heightens this tension, as they argue whether their love can be put into words and understood or whether it exceeds such faculties and boundaries of reason. If, according to Roman consensus, Antony is the military hero and disciplined statesmen that Caesar and others believe him to be, then he seems to have happily abandoned his reason in order to pursue his passion. He declares: "Let Rome in Tiber melt, and the wide arch/Of the ranged empire fall" (1.1.35-36).

Soon after his nonchalant dismissal of Caesar's messenger, the empire, and his duty to it, he chastises himself for his neglect and commits to return to Rome, lest he "lose [him]self in dotage" (Lii. 106).
