        <description><![CDATA[Although the story "Coriolanus" is tragic, it is not considered to be the same level of tragicness as the other stories, including Hamlet, Macbeth and Othello etc. The main reason for that theory is that the main character, whose nature is that he is very unattractive, overly obnoxious, immature, not flexible and stubbornly aristocratic, so it is very difficult to sympathise for him for all his faults and mistakes he created.
Due to his fierce...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[She had a very overwhelming control over her son and every actions that he did were influenced by his mother, showing that the son is very weak and had to listen to people for support and confirmation, not dependent to himself but to other people. She abuses her power by dominating over her son, showing the king-servant relationship in the family, where the son always have to listen to the mother and nothing else. He disregards everybody else...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It can be seen in the text that plebians attitude toward Corioianus was very hostile as one member of the furious mob started the madness by saying that:

"Let us kill him, and we'll have corn at our own price"

implying their intense distaste towards him and they were so angry at him they wanted to kill him as being one of the Romian patrician class, he had deprieved them of their basic and essential sustenance like food and water, but it...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There are three main ways that Volumnia abuses her power over her son which makes her partly culpable for his death. The first way is that Volumnia does in fact have power over Coriolanus which highlights his weakness. The second way is that Volumnia is fully aware of her power which demonstrates her relationship with her son. Lastly, she uses her power to her advantage and in kind, to her son’s disadvantage demonstrating her abuse of the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[That is a challenging question.  It is no doubt that Coriolanus was a effective soldier and commander of troops.  A country needs strong military leaders if it hopes to succeed.  The truth of this is what is feared when Coriolanus is gone and the Volscian army is set to march against the city, as seen in Menenius' fear:MENENIUS.Pray now, your news?--You have made fair work, I fear me.--Pray, your news.If Marcius should be join'd wi' the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This is a question with no definitive answer, but here are some factors that may have contributed to Coriolanus not being considered as one of Shakespeare’s &quot;great tragedies&quot;:The play has few quotable lines or amusingly over-the-top passages. Its language is terse and much less poetic than Hamlet and others.Coriolanus has no particularly effectual foe or foil.Almost all of the action is centered on Coriolanus; he is either on stage...]]></description>
