John Dryden’s All For Love is an adaption of William Shakespeare’s one of the greatest tragedies, Antony and Cleopatra. Dryden didn’t pursue Shakespeare’s rhyming skills, he wrote the heroic play in a blank verse. And also, the story is not the same as Shakespeare told us. The story is a bit different from the main text. The story doesn’t wrap the whole novel, rather it submits us from the time when Antony lost the battle in Actium and went into intense grief. Some characters were given additional significance, while the names of some valuable characters in Shakespeare’s text were missing. Alexas, Cleopatra’s Eunuch plays a very essential role in this adaption. The novel depicts the theme of honor, duty, responsibility vs love, and uncontrolled passion. And it also draws on how bold, unthoughtful, flowing passion brings wreckage and blinds rational reasoning, steadiness, and the courage of making the ethical judgment.
