    He loves Cleopatra as he was bewitched by her witchcraft and influenced him to loving her, meaning under influence by her spell, so even though Cleopatra keeps on manipulating him, he would not care and still love her.

    Also, despite his marriage to her sister, he still feel the force of attraction of her and her pleasures in the East

    The better answer may be that Anthony is infatuated with Cleopatra. The word “love” is loaded. Was he “in love” with Cleopatra when he married Octavia? When he assumed she had betrayed him at Actium? Or, as some suggested at the time, was the only person that Anthony truly loved himself?
