The aim of this essay is to examine Shakespeare’s political attitude in Coriolanus. Coriolanus, Shakespeare’s only great political play, shows the struggle for political power and the tensions between the plebeians and the patricians. This play is considered to have reflected the political situations of JamesⅠ in England. So we can also see many socio-political problems in Jacobean England. The confrontation between Coriolanus and the mob begins. The love of the common people toward Coriolanus turns to hate. Coriolanus is a good example of an absolutist as a political misfit. Menenius who tries to defend the aristocratic privilege fails to fulfill his responsibility as a political leader. The plebeian’s demands are often countered by members of the patrician class. The tribunes Sicinius and Brutus supply the fox element very adequately. The political divisions in Rome come to pass. To examine Shakespeare’s political attitude toward the plebeians and the patricians, I will investigate the political conflict between the plebeians and the patricians. Today, those who expect to provide a final refutation of Menenius and the tribunes of the people are still waiting.
