"Coriolanus" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written between 1605 and 1608. Based on the life of legendary Roman general Gnaeus Marcius Coriolanus, the play follows a brilliant military leader whose contempt for common citizens leads to his banishment from Rome. In exile, he allies with Rome's enemies, the Volscians, and leads them against his homeland. When his mother persuades him to make peace instead of seeking revenge, his decision proves fatal,
leaving him caught between two worlds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
