Coriolanus is a “viper that would depopulate the city and be every man himself”. This will be argued in reference to Coriolanus as a whole.

conspirators are the antagonists while Mark Antony is the protagonist. Others may say it was only Cassius who was the antagonist. Many readers believe that the name of the play is completely wrong and William Shakespeare messed up. There are numerous amounts of evidence for each concept.
