I love the one servant whose death is completely unexplained.

Anthony's suicide is supposed to be important in that he is the rare tragic hero who fails at the first attempt.

Wait, which servant? Enobarbus who falls over dead, or Eros, who says "Sure, I'll kill you Antony, but look over that way!" and then kills himself?

And Antony's siucide is important because he needs to fail long enough to monologue and kiss Cleopatra, etc.

One of Cleopatra's, methinks.

Iras and Charmian kill themselves, but it's explained.

Alexas maybe? Enobarbus says Caesar hung him without explaining why. That confused me... maybe Caesar's a mean guy. Or Enobarbus is delusional. Hm. Or Shakespeare has no idea what he's talking about; most likely :P I love how in plays Shakespeare will bring up ideas and then forget about them. Like in Twelfth Night, Viola says she's going to pretend to be a(n) eunuch, but then completely changes her plan without warning... Like Shakespeare has a memory problem and forgot what he wrote. Ha, that'd be funny.

I like your icon.
