Description
Excerpt from Be Sorosis March, 1910
In Coriolanus the theme becomes even more prominent. It is no longer packed into the turning point of the plot; it is expanded until it becomes the whole plot. The mob is the plot, the main theme, the phil osophy, the atmosphere, the complete play. Just when Shakespeare''s treat ment of madness, of fate''s undis criminating injustice, of man''s bru~ tality, of woman''s baseness, of evil''s dominance in the affairs of men, is softening, is sinking, is preparing to yield to the idyllic beauty and peace of the Winter''s Tale and the Temp est, he recovers his bitter irony long enough to give this fiercest of all his judgments of the beastly common ers, of the mutable and rank scented many.
