Paper Summary:
An examination of Shakespeare's "Coriolanus" that argues that Coriolanus, though not as sympathetic as other tragic heroes of the Bard's, is every bit the tragic hero according to definitions offered by Aristotle and Arthur Miller.From the Paper:
"Shakespeare's Coriolanus is often viewed by critics as being a notch above his four major tragedies, "Macbeth" "Hamlet" "King Lear" and "Othello." Such a view often stems from the perspective of the main character Coriolanus. Many feel that Coriolanus' less than sympathetic character makes him less heroically tragic than say Hamlet or King Leader. However, if we look at Aristotle's definition of the tragic hero, we see that Coriolanus is every bit as tragically heroic as the main characters in these four tragedies."More papers on Coriolanus:
