Before the battle begins, Antony hears that his best man, Enobarbus, has deserted him. Enobarbus has become a traitor. Antony is not happy to hear this news and he comments, “O, my fortunes have corrupted honest men!” (16-17). The word fortunes again means fate or destiny. Antony is indicating that the good and honest man Enobarbus has acted dishonorably, and that act of dishonor is connected to Antony’s own destiny. Antony regrets Enobarbus’s desertion and partially blames himself for that act.
