This question is based on ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA.
Which character says: "The nature of bad news infects the teller."
The line “The nature of bad news infects the teller” is spoken by the Messenger in Antony and Cleopatra.
In the scene, the Messenger is reporting troubling updates about political and military developments involving Mark Antony. Before delivering even worse news, he makes this statement to explain a common human reaction: people tend to blame or resent the bearer of bad news, even when the messenger is not responsible for the situation.
This line shows the Messenger’s awareness of the risk he faces in speaking honestly, especially to a powerful and emotionally volatile figure like Antony.
There is an explanation video available below.
