His writings surpass all times and he is alive just as he was in the 16th Century.

Thank you for taking the time to comment on the discussion. While Coriolanus is far more than just “a simple allegory about the inevitability of neverending class conflict,” this theme does play a definitional role in the play in both action and rhetoric. To your second point, although aristocracy and republic are often at odds in theory, reality is another matter.

Best!
Eric
