Answer:I think Cleopatra was in love with a Greek man (Greeks and Egyptians were enemies) But when the other Greeks found out, they killed him, and in sorrow, she kiIIed herself via snake poison, and then the Greek leader kiIIed Cleopatra's son and made Egypt part of Greece (or something like that.) Egypt is part of Africa now though, so I don't know how that happened, but whatever.
Explanation: Anyway, it's pretty tragic, partly because before her death she lost the love of her life and when she died she had to come to terms with leaving her kingdom to be conquered by the Greeks, and leaving her son behind.
I just looked it up, and I guess her choice was to either "Fall under Octavian's' domination" or kiII herself. So before her death she was pretty much backed into a corner. She probably felt that death was her only escape, and I guess it was, but she could've <em><u>tried</u></em> to escape to protect her son at least, I don't know, maybe she did.
ANYWAY, I digress.
So, this isn't really describing her tragedy, but I hope you can take away from it and describe her tragedy in your own words. Have a great day!!
Let me know if this helps at all, okie? :)
