  This critical study explores the many conflicting interpretations of a pardoxical and disarming play that breaks most of the rules and yet, like Cleopatra herself, manages to make defect perfection . As well as chapters on Shakespeare's methods of characterization, on construction, sources and historical background, Professor Muir provides a detailed scene-by-scene commentary: themes and characters are viewed and reviewed from several angles, providing the student a rounded appeeciation of the play.
