Coriolanus by William Shakespeare
"Coriolanus" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written between 1605 and 1608. The play follows a brilliant Roman general whose military triumphs against the Volscians earn him fame and the name Coriolanus. When he seeks the consulship, his contempt for common citizens leads to his banishment from Rome. Driven by rage, he joins his former enemies and leads them against his homeland, setting up a devastating confrontation between personal pride, family loyalty,
and political power. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
