“…In addition to his poetry and plays, Dryden contributed substantially to English literature by establishing a straightforward and unambiguous literary criticism design aesthetic. He was given the distinction of being the individual who first introduced the comparable and magistratorial style of criticism (Marshall, 2019). Dryden, a modern reviewer, originally attempted the Historical Method of Criticism.…”

Shakespeare's fantastic play "Antony and Cleopatra" is one of the greatest tragedies ever written in literature. Shakespeare's play contrasts passion and accountability. How the two most memorable characters desired to be, each other's yet were unable to be because of their circumstances. One of Dryden's objectives in creating the play was to demonstrate the vital force of love. After being banished, Cleopatra decides to return to Antony. She and Alexas try to make up a narrative about Cleopatra committing herself in her room to make Antony feel horrible (Dryden, 2021). After learning that Cleopatra murdered herself, Antony commits a clandestine suicide and collapses. Shakespeare's plays adopt a more specific, historical viewpoint than Dryden's plays, which are more of a romantic tragedy. The main distinction between Dryden's plays and Shakespeare's is this. Whether one favours Dryden's or Shakespeare's staging of the action, it goes without saying that the poetry—the dialogue—in both plays is of the highest grade and is predominantly written in iambic pentameter. To produce black verse in the manner of the "divine" Shakespeare, Dryden deviated from the rhyme scheme that had been established in his initial poem (Putra, 2022). Despite the fact that the main plot of "All for Love" by Dryden and "Antony and Cleopatra" by Shakespeare are the same, there are several significant distinctions between the two works' narrative strategies.
