Describe the dramatic effect of Enobarbus as a character focussing on two or three scenes of your choice.

One of the main ways of creating a sense of drama in a play is through conflict. Conflict is interesting to an audience because it shows a person acting on their raw emotions rather than remaining restrained and reserved as society now demands. One of the main characters Shakespeare uses to highlight the conflict between Rome and Egypt, is Enobarbus. Shakespeare creates a character that doesn't use physical violence to express his opinions, but uses …

…he highlights the conflict between the two different worlds and also allows the audience to see Cleopatra at her greatest in Act 2, Scene 2. Shakespeare uses the character to, in a way, steer the audience through the complexities of the situation and uses him as a pawn to illustrate many of the classical ideas about Egypt and Rome. IN conclusion, Enobarbus creates a dramatic effect by allowing the audience to explore the conflicting worlds, through him.
