3 quick defs/descriptions

apostrophe-call on something/someone that is not there; underscores sense of empty theater; talker or writer directs speech to imaginary person; often introduced by the work "O"

king's 2 bodies-one body is spiritual, one is physical; Lear believed he could give up physical body but maintain spiritual; Lear believed spiritual was granted by God

Cleopatra-not presumably good looking; one of martest women in history; probably a virgin before Pompey; very productive writer; fought in own military; did not sleep with lots of men; held off Roman Empire from taking over Egypt longer than anyone else defended their city
