Okay--that's food for thought! I was judging purely based on what osprey_archer had written here, but the way you put it makes me consider it in a different light. (Coriolanus is a play I haven't seen or read myself--those others are ones I have. But even as I was writing, I was wondering to myself, What about Richard III? That's one I've seen only once, but I feel like my reaction to Richard III as a character was closer to what I'm feeling about Coriolanus--based on this write-up. So it's not like Coriolanus was a lonely outlier--even if I weren't going to do some reconsidering.)
