Doc, you really put your finger on the problems with Coriolanus that I also have -- one wants redeeming qualities to emerge. I suppose there's something to be said for his disdain for popular regard, except that he makes it a vice.
When I learned Eliot's opinion of CORIOLANUS, I fairly quickly concluded that the opinion told me much more about Eliot than it did about Shakespeare.
