We continue with Act II.\xa0 The treaty between Pompey and the Triumvirate.\xa0 Cleopatra and the messenger who reports Antony's marriage.\xa0 I should have said that her relation to the messenger is a version of the third person imperative force of the play: she demands what can't be demanded, that the truth be different from what it is.
