The play of "Coriolanus" opens in Rome, about 500 B.C. and at the crisis of a popular uprising against the Senate on account of the [?] of corn. We see the astute old Menenius, himself a Senator, by his application of the famous apologue of the Belly and the Members, somewhat assuage the violent resolutions of the mob, when Coriolanus sweeps in and at once begins taunting and upbraiding "the herd" as he afterwards calls them : though one is made to perceive at the same time that his hostility to the people as reasoned and practical, as well as a merely temperamental basis. A soldier rushes in with tidings that the neighbouring Volscian State has attacked the Roman ; discord is for the time being thrust into the background, and Coriolanus, as second in command to Cominius, sets out for the wars… We are shown something of the conflict, brought to a successful issue by the desperate valour of Coriolanus ; of his triumphant entry into Rome, where he is greeted by his stern mother and gentle wife… We are given a foretaste of the deep-laid schemes of the people's representatives, the Tribunes, for ruining Coriolanus through his impetuous pride ; and, finally, and with his nomination to the Consulship in full session of the Roman Senate, the first part of the play ends. Coriolanus has reached the zenith of his power, and in the rest of this play we watch his gradual destruction through the exercise off the very same qualities that had raised him to such glory.

Field & Son, Limited. Act II Part II opens at a point when Coriolanus, unwillingly, is conforming to the ancient Roman custom which required that candidates for the Consulship should stand in the Forum and solicit people for their votes, or, as Shakespeare calls them "voices". This we see Coriolanus do after a fashion of his own ; and we see the people half puzzled, half awed, ratify his election until their Tribunes, coming among them, urge them to revoke their ascent. Scenes of stormy controversy ensue, ending in an attempt on the part of the Tribunes to arrest Coriolanus for treason ; this is resisted by his party, who beat off the people and prevail on Coriolanus to retire to his own home. Hear his mother (Volumnia) begs him to assuage the tumult which his head strong conduct has aroused. After many fluctuations of mood. Coriolanus consonants to his mother's advice, and with that purpose in view, reiterating his determination to behave "mildly" he moves off to the market place to meet the Tribunes. Once there he soon casts his moderation to the winds, and, by his wrath, so plays into his enemies' hands that sentence of banishment is speedily decreed against him. After a speech of mingled scorn and prophetic admonition, he turns his back upon the city and goes to seek "a world elsewhere". Act III. Sometime – at least a year – has elapsed when we again behold Coriolanus an outcast, wandering through the streets of Antium, the chief city of his former foes, the Volscians ; he asks to be directed to the house all his famous adversary Aufidius, the Volscian general. Banishment, mortified pride, privation and misery have so wrought upon his mind that's in the bitterness of his heart he has decided to seek out Aufidius, and either perish at his hands or, if Aufidius so will to second him in his projected attack on Rome. He carries out his purpose. Aufidius is so touched at the spectacle of his great vanquishers physical misery – "though thy tackle's torn thou show'st a noble vessel" – that he passionately embraces is offer of help ; and henceforth Coriolanus is committed to the Volscians … Their arms meet with the most instant and unparalleled success. But the jealousy of Coriolanus extinguished in Aufidius' breast during a few moments of generous enthusiasm begins to revive ; though up to the present the former's conduct of the Volscian campaign leaves no loophole for complaint. Cominius and Menenius both had come to implore him for mercy to Rome, and had both been peremptorily sent back… Now, as a last hope, Coriolanus' mother, wife and child came into the camp to supplicate him. Coriolanus long fights down his rising pity, but at last he's engagements to the Volscians and his thirst for vengeance give way before the passionate pleadings of his mother, and he determines to make terms with Rome, though at the same time declaring his intention of returning to Antium with Aufidius , clearly showing thereby that he means henceforth to live and die a Volscian… He does return to Antium ; as soon as that city is reached, Aufidius throws of his mask of friendship and charges Coriolanus with treason. To the last Coriolanus is the victim of his own impetuosity. Baseness and deceit his nature can never quietly endure. Instead of answering Aufidius' accusation he turns in noble wrath upon his perfidious associate : and hurling in the teeth of the surrounding Volscian host the recollection of his former exploits against them, superb in his defiant isolation, he falls under the swords of he's infuriated assailants… Pity succeeds to rage, and now Aufidius joins in the solemn procession that bears the warrior's body with martial rights to the funeral pyre.
