From the Paper:
"Conceptions of honor are addressed in the Shakespeare plays Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra. Julius Caesar was written in 1599 and Antony and Cleopatra in 1606-1607. Both are among the Roman plays of Shakespeare, plays set in the Roman Empire, though Antony and Cleopatra actually is more governed by the culture and society of Egypt where the play is set. Honor is an important Roman value, but the meaning of honor and the way it is belied by the actions of certain men are tested by the events in these plays. Honor in some ways is bound with Roman power, and there is a connection between the decline of power and the decline of honor, as Shakespeare is able to bring out centuries later as he looks back at the long lost empire and considers the meaning of honor from an Elizabethan point of view."More papers on Conceptions of Honor:
