| الوصف: | Often considered as a political tragedy, Coriolanus is also a historical drama presenting the transition from an aristocratic to a republican regime and the substitution this revolution brings about of a quantitative community for a hierarchical society. The collective debasement of heroic virtues signified by the protagonist’s isolation and exclusion is thus the prelude to the assertion of materialistic values in the words and behaviour of his antagonists and allies. Such a dramatic upheaval in political and social practices finds expression in three major thematic strands: the supremacy of the flesh and consequent reduction of the body politic image to its literal meaning; the assimilation of the political life of the Roman state to commercial transactions founded on the search for mutual benefit; and, last but not least, the irresistible rise of the plebs associated with the law of the strongest and the force of numbers. The far-reaching ideological disruption shown in the play cannot be separated in the last analysis from the growing importance of divisive economic preoccupations and rivalries, which thrive behind the reassuring mask of unity and harmony provided by Menenius’ fable. |
