Discussion
‘All For Love’ is based on which of Shakespeare's play?
Answer: C
All for Love, or the World Well Lost (1677) is Dryden's tragedy based on Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra. It keeps the same lovers but compresses the action to the last hours and writes it in blank verse with attention to the unities. Hamlet, Cymbeline and Romeo and Juliet are Shakespeare's plays but are not the source of Dryden's play. Dryden's play of 1677 is a response to Shakespeare's play and treats the last day of the love of Antony and Cleopatra in Alexandria. It was written in blank verse, which Dryden said he wrote in imitation of Shakespeare's style.
