The play centers around the character Caius Martius, later known as Coriolanus, a Roman general whose pride and disdain for the common people lead to his downfall. It explores themes of power, pride, and the complex relationship between the ruling class and the populace. The beginning of "Coriolanus" introduces a conflict among the Roman citizens who are mutinous due to food shortages and their grievances against the patricians, particularly Caius Martius. As the citizens decide to confront their leaders, Martius emerges as a proud and strong individual, displaying both his military prowess and overwhelming contempt for the commoners. The scene is set for political strife, highlighting Martius's struggle between his identity as a warrior and the demands of political leadership, while also foreshadowing the impending clash that arises from his arrogance and inability to connect with the people he aims to lead.
