John Dryden's All For Love is a neoclassical tragedy that retells the story of Antony and Cleopatra. The play deals with themes such as tragic love, honor, political power, and the consequences of uncontrollable passion. Unlike Shakespeare's original work, Dryden's play focuses more on the tragedy of the main character's love, shows the sacrifices made for love, and explores the complexity of the human path. Themes of duty and honor are intertwined with themes of love to create a deeper narrative that reflects neoclassical ideas of order, reason, and moral language popular in 17th-century English literature.

It's crucial to clarify that certain insights are anecdotal, stemming from personal experience rather than formal research. In my years of Grad Eng Hons and MA. English I've learnt and are distinguished as such to maintain transparency in the presentation of information.
