Shakespeare's Coriolanus is a severe and powerful tragedy of war, pride, political manipulation, and a great soldier's inability to live within the society he has defended.

Caius Martius is Rome's fiercest warrior, a man of extraordinary courage and brutal honesty whose victories earn him the name Coriolanus. But battlefield greatness does not make him fit for civic life. Pressed toward political office, he cannot flatter the common people, cannot disguise his contempt, and cannot bend his nature to the machinery of public power. His enemies understand the crowd better than he does, and his pride turns military glory into political ruin.
