I'm not a therapist but can make a general statement. Many of the characters seek to manipulate or persuade one another in different ways. Ventidius tries to persuade Antony to leave Egypt several times in the play. Dolabella and Octavia also undertake to convince him to leave Cleopatra behind. Meanwhile, Cleopatra and her attendants, particularly Alexas, seek to strategize about how to keep Antony there. Time and time again, Alexas comes up with plots to keep Cleopatra and Antony together, manipulating information in order to ensure the union. Indeed, Ventidius does this also, persuading Antony that Dolabella and Cleopatra are having an affair when they are not.
