How does plutarch view Antony?

In: Ancient Rome [Edit categories]

Answer:

Plutarch, I think, views Antony as an able man, but a man ruled by his emotions rather than by his head. In this respect he could easily be manipulated by Cleopatra. But in the end he redeems himself. Antony's last words,"...had fallen not ignobly, a Roman by a Roman overcome", are the sum of Roman pride and dignity.
