As a play concerning the relationship between two empires, the presence of a power dynamic is apparent and becomes a recurring theme.
Antony and Cleopatra battle over this dynamic as heads of state, yet the theme of power also resonates in their romantic relationship.
The Roman ideal of power lies in a political nature taking a base in economical control.
As an imperialist power, Rome takes its power in the ability to change the world.
As a Roman man, Antony is expected to fully certain qualities pertaining to his Roman masculine power, especially in the war arena and in his duty as a soldier:<poem>Those his goodly eyes,That o’er the files and musters of the warHave glowed like plated mars, now bend, now turnThe office and devotion of their viewUpon a tawny front.
His captain’s heart,Which in the scuffles of greatness hath burstThe buckles on his breast, reneges all tempers,And is becomes the bellows and the fanTo cool a gipsy’s lust.</poem>Cleopatra’s character is slightly unpin-able, as her character identity retains a certain aspect of mystery.
She embodies the mystical, exotic, and dangerous nature of Egypt as the “serpent of old Nile”.
Critic Lisa Starks says that “Cleopatra to signify the double-image of the “temptress/goddess”.
She is continually described in an unearthly nature which extends to her description as the goddess Venus.<poem>... For her own person,It beggared all description.
She did lieIn her pavilion—cloth of god, of tissue—O’er-picturing that Venus where we seeThe fancy outwork nature.</poem>This mysteriousness attached with the supernatural not only captures the audience and Antony, but also, draws all other characters’ focus.
As a center of conversation when not present in the scene, Cleopatra is continually a central point, therefore demanding the control of the stage.
As an object of sexual desire, she is attached to the Roman need to conquer.
Her mix of sexual prowess with the political power is a threat to Roman politics.
She retains her heavy involvement in the military aspect of her rule, especially when she asserts herself as “the president of kingdom will/ Appear there for a man.” Where the dominating power lies is up for interpretation, yet there are several mentions of the power exchange in their relationship in the text.
Antony remarks on Cleopatra’s power over him multiple times throughout the play, the most obvious being attached to sexual innuendo: “You did know / How much you were my conqueror, and that / My sword, made weak by my affection, would / Obey it on all cause.”Use of language in power dynamicsManipulation and the quest for power are very prominent themes not only in the play but specifically in the relationship between Antony and Cleopatra.
Both utilize language to undermine the power of the other and to heighten their own sense of power.
Cleopatra uses language to undermine Antony’s assumed authority over her.
Cleopatra’s “‘Roman’ language of command works to undermine Antony's authority.” By using a Romanesque rhetoric, Cleopatra commands Antony and others in Antony’s own style.
In their first exchange in Act I, scene 1, Cleopatra says to Antony, “I’ll set a bourn how far to be beloved.” In this case Cleopatra speaks in an authoritative and affirming sense to her lover, which to Shakespeare’s audience would be uncharacteristic for a female lover.
Antony’s language suggests his struggle for power against Cleopatra’s dominion.
Antony’s “obsessive language concerned with structure, organization, and maintenance for the self and empire in repeated references to ‘measure,’ ‘property,’ and ‘rule’ express unconscious anxieties about boundary integrity and violation.” (Hooks 38) Furthermore, Antony struggles with his infatuation with Cleopatra and this paired with Cleopatra’s desire for power over him causes his eventual downfall.
He states in Act I, scene 2, “These strong Egyptian fetters I must break,/Or lose myself in dotage.” Antony feels restrained by “Egyptian fetters” indicating that he recognizes Cleopatra’s control over him.
He also mentions losing himself in dotage – “himself” referring to Antony as Roman ruler and authority over people including Cleopatra.
Cleopatra also succeeds in causing Antony to speak in a more theatrical sense and therefore undermine his own true authority.
In Act I, scene 1, Antony not only speaks again of his empire but constructs a theatrical image: “Let Rome and Tiber melt, and the wide arch/Of the ranged empire fall...
The nobleness of life/Is to do thus; when such a mutual pair/And such a twain can do’t – in which I bind/On pain of punishment the world to weet/We stand up peerless.” Cleopatra immediately says, “Excellent falsehood!” in an aside, indicating to the audience that she intends for Antony to adopt this rhetoric.
Yachnin’s article focuses on Cleopatra’s usurping of Antony’s authority through her own and his language, while Hooks’ article gives weight to Antony’s attempts to assert his authority through rhetoric.
Both articles indicate the lovers’ awareness of each other’s quests for power.
Despite awareness and the political power struggle existent in the play, Antony and Cleopatra both fail to achieve their goals by the play’s conclusion. 
"Drunk on Love" garnered mixed reviews from music critics.
Sam Lansky for MTV Buzzworthy was complimentary of song, writing that only Rihanna is able to include an xx sample and sing love metaphors and make it sound "fresh."
He praised Rihanna's vocal performance, calling it one of her best to date.
Lansky also noted that Rihanna is "emotionally charged" when she sings the chorus.
A reviewer for Sputnikmusic compared the song to one of Rihanna's previous songs from her fifth studio album, "Loud", "What's My Name?
", writing Drunk On Love' is reminiscent of Loud's best song, 'What's My Name,' with Rihanna singing 'I love it, I crave it' with serious conviction and confident, powerful vocals."
Jason Lipshutz for "Billboard" described the songs production as "dynamic" and that Rihanna displays her "full range."
He continued to write that it would be a good decision to release "Drunk on Love" as a single.
Meena Rupani of DesiHits was complimentary of the songs club appeal, but did not feel that the song was a standout or memorable track.
Katherine St. Asaph for Popdust had mixed opinions of the song.
As part of her introduction, she praised its composition and inclusion of The xx's sample of "Intro" and described the song as being "heavy" and "slightly emo."
St. Asaph was complimentary of its melodramatic style, and added that "The xx sample does most of the heavy drifting here, but it's well-used–notice how the vocals of the original become backing vocals for Rihanna with almost no adulteration."
However, she was critical of how the songs composition builds, writing that instead of starting quietly and building to its "bombast", it starts somewhere between quiet and loud and ends "past" [sic] its "bombast".
As a sidenote, St. Asaph noted that Rihanna does not in fact sound drunk on the song, but wrote that it does not affect the outcome.
Lindsay Zoladz of Pitchfork Media was critical of the song, labeling the chorus as "weak" and Rihanna's vocal performance as too "bombast" for the xx's "laid-back" sample.
