The Tragedie of Coriolanus: Applause First Folio Editions (Applause Shakespeare Library Folio Texts) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is Shakespeare's greatest tragedy in my opinion.Everybody talks about Macbeth, Hamlet, King Lear, Othello, and Romeo and Juliet, but Coriolanus for some reason is mostly, and unjustly, ignored.I feel that Coriolanus is the only pure tragedy among Shakespeare's works.Macbeth was a sociopath who brought all his troubles on himself;Hamlet was a confused young man who couldn't make a decision and who waited too long to get the job done; King Lear was an old fool who played games with his daughters and brought most of his problems on himself; Othello could have avoided his problems if he simply sat down and had a real conversation with his wife; and Romeo and Juliet were just a couple of immature kids who simply needed a few hard kicks in their butts.Coriolanus is different.Coriolanus was simply an honest, hard-working soldier who got the job done and told the truth, but was brought down by the guile of his enemies.That, in my opinion, is the greatest tragedy of them all.
It seems that people either love or hate this play.Many consider Coriolanus to be a very unlikable character because he is supposedly arrogant, but I disagree.Coriolanus just worked hard, told the truth, was a straight shooter, and refused to play silly games by telling people what they wanted to hear.I guess I see something different in this play than most critics and readers of Shakespeare.
