Clarke depicts Cleopatra as elegant, supportive, level-headed, and good-humored. When her husband leaves her to live with his mistress, Cleopatra perseveres, making ends meet and eventually changing the locks so Bordy knows he isn't entitled to let himself into the house he abandoned whenever he likes. Clarke sees this resilience in her own identity and attitude towards men.
