Beginning of Act IV. More on Antony vs. "an Antony." The latter is an object in the world, has worldly being. The former is the extravagant, isolated subjectivity which is the tragic waywardness which is more and more where he is: in "the heart of loss." If extravagance -- waywardness, wandering outside of any world which is one's own, Binswanger's Verstiegenheit -- weren't more intense than worldliness, if things didn't get more intense as one loses everything, tragedy would be of no aesthetic interest. A brief adumbration of the difference between daemonization (for Macbeth) and extravagance (for Antony).
