Coriolanus

Coriolanus is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, likely written between 1605 and 1607. The play follows Caius Martius, a Roman general who earns the title Coriolanus after his military victory at Corioli, and explores his tumultuous relationship with the citizens of Rome, who revolt against him due to his disdain for the common people. Notable for its strong representation of the plebeians, the play critiques class conflict and political power dynamics in ancient Rome.
