But
he loves Caesar best;--yet he loves Antony.
Enobarbus
Antony and Cleoapatra Act III, Scene ii, Line 15
Enobarbus and Agrippa, two old soldiers, are
talking about the three leaders who make up the new triumvirate: Octavius
Caesar, Mark Antony, and Lepidus. It seems that Lepidus is the old man of the
three and it’s he who Enobarbus is saying loves Caesar best, yet loves Antony. Enobarbus
and Agrippa are going back and forth with this banter, and I think both are saying
that Lepidus is weak and trying to make sure he stays in the good graces of
both the two younger, stronger leaders.
Being the old guy that I am, I guess I’d try to do the same as Lepidus. Though, I think I’d rather just get out of the triumvirate altogether if I had to contend with two young, strong-headed bucks like Caesar and Antony.
