Zak argues that Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra represents the manner in which unwitting narcissism fails the genuine love that would have elevated the lovers above the tragedy they instead merely endure--both privileging "easy ways to die" to the "strenuous labor" required to deliver a birth of richer life into their passion.
