摘　　要：莎士比亚的英国史剧以及绝大多数悲剧和喜剧均设置于基督教时代,设置在异教时代的戏剧相对较少,共计13部。它们或以基督降生前的古不列颠为背景,比如《李尔王》《辛白林》;或以希腊为背景,如《错误的喜剧》《仲夏夜之梦》《特洛伊罗斯与克瑞西达》《雅典的泰门》《泰尔亲王佩力克里斯》(与George Wilkins合写)《冬天的故事》《两贵亲》(与John Fletcher合写).Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra recounts a historical story set in the late Roman republic.Scholars agree that the play contains many biblical references,including allusions to the birth of Christ and the coming of the apocalypse.It seems that the play deliberately compares Christian and Pagan thinking on the relationship between human beings and the divine,on suicide,and on desire,against a Christian background.Through a close reading and analysis of the text,this paper argues that the play Antony and Cleopatra demonstrates the end of the pagan world and the beginning of the Christian world,in which one can see Shakespeare’s high regard for the pagan world.Moreover,Shakespeare’s appreciation of a classical understanding of politics and love,gained from the pagan Roman world,is exhibited in the play.
