So Antony upon hearing Cleopatra's death he then took his own life. He died a broken man. He lost his capabability of being a good leader and a fighter. All of this is true enough but it is rather summarising the extract – instead follow the Guidance and try to pick out key words or phrases and comment on them . So you might, for instance, pick out 'The queen' – this reminds us that the Romans despised kingship and so is one more way of denigrating Cleopatra
