This research deals the historical perspective put forward by Shawky in (The Death of Cleopatra); Where the poet took a contradictory position from the prevailing historical narratives about the last Ptolemaic queen: Cleopatra VII; The Roman texts were replete with satire and disparagement directed at that queen as part of the political propaganda accompanying the Roman campaign against Egypt and the East, and Cleopatra was stigmatized for many centuries with the most obscene traits. She appeared to be a seductive woman who attracted the Roman monarch and warrior: Antony, then betrayed him in the end when the war battles raged in Actium and Alexandria until he committed suicide and she committed suicide after him! The research concluded, after reading the dramatic work and balancing it with the historical heritage that Shawqi contradicted the repeated narrations to present a different historical vision within a dramatic poetic framework: full of his own historical interpretation and intertwined with the current context in what It was traversed by Egypt, due to the events.
