Coriolanus

Although renowned as a fearless leader , Caius Martius is unpopular among the plebeians, the folk of Rome, who resent his arrogance and equate him with the patrician elite whom they believe to be liable for the present food shortage. Martius successively despises the plebeians as cowardly, fickle and untrustworthy. For his extraordinary heroism in defeating the Volsces, enemies of Rome, and capturing the Volscian city of Corioles, Martius is honored with the name of Coriolanus; he’s also prevailed upon by his friends, and by his strong-willed mother, to run consul, Rome’s highest position . But the warrior is not any politician – and he faces unaccustomed enemies within the sort of two tribunes of the people, Sicinius Velutus and Junius Brutus, who fan the flames of populism against him, with catastrophic results. tt9151404
