Cleopatra, Chapter 11: samenvatting
Chapter 11 van 34 · Book 2: The Fall of Harmachis · 10 min om chapter te lezen
In Chapter 11, Harmachis gains a palace office and completes preparations for an uprising that depends on killing Cleopatra and opening a guarded gate. At a feast, Cleopatra has him crowned with roses in mockery, while his dread of bloodshed and ignorance of Charmion’s love complicate his political purpose.
Wat er gebeurt
- Harmachis becomes Cleopatra’s chief astrologer and uses her requests for guidance to advance his own ambitions.
- Cleopatra orders Serapion’s death to deny responsibility for his support of Cassius, while the Egyptian conspiracy gains recruits.
- Charmion serves Harmachis devotedly, but he mistakes her love for loyalty to their shared cause.
- Sepa’s captains prepare five hundred attackers, and Harmachis bribes Captain Paulus to open an eastern gate at the signal.
- During a feast, Harmachis dreads the planned killings, and Cleopatra orders Charmion to crown him with roses as a joke.
- Humiliated, Harmachis withdraws to his watchtower to await lists and messages, and Charmion enters.
