Coriolanus ( ANNOTATED )

This book is written by William Shakespeare. In ancient Rome, a mob of angry plebeians riot on the streets because (1) they are totally starving and the patricians (a.k.a. the ruling class of powerful aristocrats) have been hoarding all the grain. Yep, Rome's experiencing a famine, and the plebeians blame all their problems on one patrician in particular: Caius Martius. (HUGELY IMPORTANT: This dude will later earn the nickname "Coriolanus", but for now, he's just plain "Caius Martius," aka Rome's resident war hero slash arrogant snob slash biggest hater of the lower classes. One of Martius' pals (a guy named Menenius) rolls up onto the scene and manages to sweet talk the mob into dropping their weapons. But then Martius shows up and immediately starts hurling insults at the crowd and egging them on. (Hmm. We probably would have taken a different approach. Guess that's why this play isn't named after us.
