A brief interruption

I'm reading Burke for a class I'm taking, and here's what he said about the National Assembly's first try at a constitution:

"On account of the ambiguity and uncertainty of unauthorized general descriptions, and of the deceit which may be practiced under them, and not from mere formality, the house of Commons would reject the most sneaking petition for the most trifling object, under that mode of signature to which you have thrown open the folding-doors of your presence chamber, and have ushered into your National Assembly, with as much ceremony and parade...as if you had been visited by the whole representative majesty of the whole English nation."

I found it hard to care about these characters after the battle of Actium. Both Cleopatra and Antony had their petty moments and even their upswings seemed vapid. I guess I've just gotten tired of the "love makes you stupid and leads to tragic downfall" story. Othello  did that much better. Othello didn't just love Desdemona, he also loved and trusted Iago.

Othello begins and ends the story as two starkly different people, but I can believe that one grew from the other. Antony and Cleopatra are just two people who find each other really, really attractive. They have interesting traits--Cleopatra's expressiveness and Antony's occasional magn...
