• The people are tired of being charged so much taxes for food. 
• Menenius is a conservative masquerading as a Liberal so that the people will listen to him. 
• Marcius just openly calls everyone filth and is happy war is being waged so he can work off frustration. Absolute mad lad. 
• Marcius thinks only veterans/warriors should get a good price on corn. Not a discount, they literally get the affordable price while the people can barely purchase it.
• Volumnia just LOVES her boy, Marcius. 
• His son tore up a butterfly with his teeth…why have you instilled in your child such a hatred for life??
• Okay, Marcius is a Baki character, cuz he’s just pursuing the enemy no matter WHAT. This nigga is a WARRIOR. 
• Do NOT flatter Marcius for his heroic deeds, he will get very upset. 
• Menenius drags Brutus and Sicinius to filth. “More of your conversation would infect my brains.” 
• Marcius is honored the name Coriolanus and given the title of consul but when he has to talk to the people, he looks like he’s about to absolutely vomit because he hates them so much. Even Menenius is like, “Just pls try pls PLS.”
• Lmfao of course Brutus, Sicinius, and the people are portrayed as villains, while Marcius, a violent conservative, is the misunderstood hero. 
• The people are about to throw Coriolanus off a cliff or whatever because he’s just a mean piece of shit, but his mom convinces him to do a little Machiavellianism, so he grinds his teeth as his eye twitches and goes to talk with them. 
• Coriolanus cannot contain himself so winds up banished. He goes to Afidius to confess his love and they have hate sex…er, or they just join forces to attack Rome.
• If you get exiled from your country for your shite behavior, you’re morally right to join enemy forces and attack them. Lmfao Christ. The ruling class on some bullshit.
• Everyone is salty that Coriolanus is attacking Rome. Cominius tries to change his mind but is dismissed. Menenius says Coriolanus is his lover…he’s dismissed. Volumnia begs and finally Coriolanus gives in. 
• Aufidius is embarrassed by this and has Coriolanus killed LOL
• Man. That was a trip.
