Coriolanus by William Shakespeare
"Coriolanus" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written between 1605 and 1608. The play follows a brilliant Roman general who earns his name through military victory against the Volscians. His contempt for common citizens and volatile temperament derail his political ambitions, leading to banishment from Rome. In exile, he joins forces with his former enemies to march against his homeland. When family loyalty clashes with burning vengeance, Coriolanus faces an impossible choice
that will seal his fate. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
