I'm really bringing down the average rating because it's just me and some other woman who have rated the kindle version of Coriolanus, which isn't even fair because I read Coriolanus as part of a Shakespeare collection but obviously would like to count each play towards my goal and i didn't read the entire book. Anyway there aren't that many editions of Coriolanus on Goodreads,whic leads me to the conclusion that I sort of already knew: this is an EXTREMELY underrated play, but it's also so weird! Also, it's my brother's favorite play, and perhaps the only one he's like, read, which is strange. A review? For this play?

Listen. I think this could be very compelling for modern audiences, and I think Martius is a character who modern audiences coud really sympathize with in the right hands, but it also makes sense that this play flies so under the radar in pop culture. I've done a little research and people seem to be all over the place in terms of readings for it, and while there are a couple of things I think are Very Cool about it, I think it's a tricky play, especially for adaptations. We shall see, I still haven't seen an adaptation of it, but I've got a few concerns, which I'll address maybe at some point. Probably not.

EDIT: actually changed my mind, i LOVE martius and this play.
