A review by jameskeates
Coriolanus by William Shakespeare

3.0

Coriolanus is interesting as the soldier who can't cope with civilian political life; his pride is his fault as Othello's is jealousy or Macbeth's is ambition. However, somehow his stubborn snobbishness against the lower orders is less relatable and his pushy mother less rounded than, say, Lady Macbeth. Enjoyable enough, but just not as memorable in language or plot as the great tragedies.
