Question
Who convinces Antony to forgive Enobarbus before his death
Solution
In the play "Antony and Cleopatra" by William Shakespeare, it is Cleopatra who convinces Antony to forgive Enobarbus before his death. Here are the steps:
-
Enobarbus, Antony's most trusted friend and soldier, betrays Antony by deserting him and joining Octavius Caesar's side. This happens when Antony's fortunes are on the decline.
-
Antony, deeply hurt by this betrayal, sends all of Enobarbus's belongings to him via a servant, showing his magnanimity despite the betrayal.
-
Enobarbus is filled with guilt and remorse when he receives his belongings. He realizes the depth of Antony's generosity and the mistake he has made.
-
Meanwhile, Cleopatra learns about Enobarbus's betrayal and Antony's reaction. She urges Antony to forgive Enobarbus, arguing that his betrayal was not out of malice but due to his lack of faith in Antony's ability to win the war.
-
Antony, influenced by Cleopatra's words, forgives Enobarbus. However, by the time this message of forgiveness reaches Enobarbus, he is already consumed by guilt and dies of a broken heart.
