Describe the workings of the mind of Enobarbus as he first gradually falls away from Antony and then is driven to despair on account of his defection. III. Discuss the meaning of the following passages:- [N.B.-A mere explanation will not suffice. So much value will not be attached to the conclusions arrived at as to an intelligent discussion of the difficulties.] Why did he marry Fulvia, and not love her? I'll seem the fool I am not; Antony Will be himself. Ant. But stirred by Cleopatra.
