Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Coriolanus" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written between 1605 and 1608. The play follows a brilliant Roman general who earns his name through victory at Corioli but whose contempt for common citizens leads to banishment. In exile, he joins Rome's enemies and marches against his homeland. Torn between vengeance and family loyalty, Coriolanus faces impossible choices that lead to his ultimate downfall. Based on Plutarch's account of the legendary Roman leader, this late Shakespeare tragedy explores pride, politics, and the fatal costs of refusing to compromise.
