#and driven by mere womanly passions in the face of her loss
Text
No more, but e'en a woman, and commanded
By such poor passion as the maid that milks
And does the meanest chares.
Eve Best as CLEOPATRA in ‘Antony and Cleopatra’ (2014)
#for context: her husband has just died and she's saying (basically) how she's not a queen in this context but just a woman#and driven by mere womanly passions in the face of her loss#and that she'd be better served throwing her sceptre at the gods for taking her husband from her and telling them#that earth was as good as heaven until they took her husband from her#my gifs#eve best#cleopatra#antony and cleopatra#william shakespeare#i just loved her railing at the heavens#she's also (theatre joke) literally shouting at the gods#ESPECIALLY in the globe theatre
