Neo Classic Vision

By Dr Balwinder Singh

The tragic vision judiciously lies embedded in the clash between morality and immorality . As such, immorality is more pronounced in John Dryden's All for Love. In this tragedy, all limits of immorality are broken. The hero Antony falls flat into the grip of the heroine Cleopatra .Whatever order, she gives, he blindly bows before her. Antony an awesome warrior is rendered all pale in front of her . What a pitiable situation. Antony was an expert in winning land-battles but at the behest of Cleopatra, he had to go in for sea-battle and lost and later out of shame had to commit suicide. Antony's situation comes to such a pass that even Cleopatra has to admit: "Sunk, never more to rise."(V.85) See the evolutionary trajectory traveled by tragedy. First it was fate, then it was character and now it's immorality that dragged the hero into tragic situation.
