yes because she killed people
To our way of thinking and by our present day standards, yes, Cleopatra could be considered cruel. However, we should not judge the ancients by our standards as they did not live by them. In reality Cleopatra was no more cruel than any other ruler of her time.
By her own standards, Cleopatra was not cruel. She was an absolute monarch and it was expected that she would get her way in all things by whatever means she needed to use. However, by our standards, yes , she was horribly cruel. After all, she murdered one brother and then had Antony murder her sister who was supposed to be protected. It is said that she experimented with various poisons on slaves and watched them die as she was trying to find a painless type of poison for her own death. So Cleopatra's degree of cruelty depends on who's hardstands you judge her.

There was no such thing as a "kind" ruler in the ancient world. The "good emperors/kings" would not hesitate to slit an opponent's throat if they thought he presented a danger.
