Synopsis

Vengeance and War-

Rome is in turmoil, there is rioting in the streets and open warfare between the varying ruling factions. Coriolanus would bring peace and order to Rome, but will Rome let him?

You common cry of curs! whose breath I hate

As reek o' the rotten fens, whose loves I prize

As the dead carcasses of unburied men

That do corrupt my air- I banish you.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an English playwright, poet, actor, and shareholder in the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later the King's Men. Born in Stratford-upon-Avon, he became the central dramatist of the English Renaissance stage and remains the most widely read and performed writer in the English language. His plays range across tragedy, comedy, history, romance, and problem drama, combining theatrical intelligence, psychological depth, political awareness, verbal power, and an extraordinary ability to give dramatic form to human conflict.Shakespeare's major works include Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, King Lear, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, The Tempest, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, and the English history plays. Coriolanus, one of his Roman tragedies, draws on classical history to examine pride, military virtue, public opinion, political rhetoric, class resentment, and the destructive force of a hero who cannot separate honour from contempt. Its severity and political intelligence have made it one of Shakespeare's most enduring plays for readers and theatres interested in power, populism, war, and civic crisis.
