Claim, Data, Warrant
Claim: Eve is like Cleopatra with the snakes and Antony is like Adam, who falls under her power.
Data: "The plethora of accounts is confusing but the consistent presence of the serpent, an age-old symbol of healing as well as of evil, has ensured popular preference for this most powerful version. The Clown even says a woman is "a dish for the gods, if the devil dress her not."
Warrant: This shows that the serpent was indeed a symbol of evil and like Eve seduced Adam into following her destruction, the Clown speaks for Antony in many ways by saying that women are basically evil in the claim above.
Counter-Warrant: There isn't much evidence that Antony was Adam-like except within the play perhaps.
