Resumo

"Coriolan" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written in 1607. It follows Caius Martius, a proud Roman warrior who conquers the Volscian city of Corioles and earns his honorific name. Despite his military glory, his contempt for common citizens costs him the consulship and leads to his exile. Betrayed and enraged, he allies with Rome's enemies and returns to besiege his own city. Only a desperate delegation led by his mother can reach him, forcing a choice between vengeance and loyalty that will prove fatal. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
