Question
In one play, this character is called a “poor cozened man” by a woman who declares “I despair / To have you whole, and scorn to take you half.” This character enters that play with the line, “They tell me, ‘tis my birthday, and I'll keep it / With double pomp of sadness.” In that play, this character is warned to “touch not these poisoned gifts / infected by the sender” while being given a “ruby bracelet, set with bleeding hearts.” While speaking to this character, a man notes that a woman “hath such a (*) celerity in dying” and “makes a shower of rain as well as Jove” in a series of double entendres. This man is the central character of John Dryden’s All For Love. In another play, this character commands Eros to kill him, but Eros commits suicide instead; this character then falls on his sword but misses his heart. For 10 points, Enobarbus betrays what general, who in a Shakespeare play is romanced by Cleopatra? ■END■
