Shakespeare Coriolanus Journal 1 "I sin in envying his nobility;And were I any thing but what I am‚I would wish me only he. AufidisAct 1 sc. 1 page 230 I think this quote describes the love of Coriolanus. Coriolanus longs to encounter Aufidius man-to-man. Aufidius‚ on his end‚ welcomes Coriolanus to his side He goes so far as to say that his passion for Coriolanus is as great as his love for the "maid I married". Whether Aufidius loves Coriolanus in this passionate sense is problematical

1. This section is obviously describing a single person‚ yet this person constantly refers to himself as we. His body‚ legs‚ and head which are solely his are described as ours. It makes me wonder what society/world he is living in because the way a person speaks is also the way their neighbors and family speak‚ so there has to be a reason . The back of the book says that this world takes place in the future‚ but that confuses me because the cave he is in is being lit by a candle. 2. This world/society
