Caius Martius - A Roman general, given the name "Coriolanus" after he leads the Roman armies to victory against the Volscians. Brave, fearsome in battle, and extremely honorable; overly proud. His faults, combined with a dislike towards the lower classes of Rome (plebs) lead to his exile from his native city. The main character that the story is based upon. Whom is essentional to all the key moments.
Volumnia - ( Coriolanus' mum) A Roman noblewoman, who is devoted to her son and delights in his military exploits, having raised him to be a warrior. Only proud in the wounds he returns in. She is a key character, as she has influenced Coriolanus to be the man he is, she made him into this psycho and see' snitching wrong in what she has done to him; also, she makes herself a key by minipulatin her own son into his death and she know the consequences of what she says to him, but she carries on anyway.
Menenius - A Roman nobleman, or patrician, and a friend to Coriolanus, also like a father figure to him. Gifted with a clever tongue, he has a reputation as a great wit, which he uses adeptly to avoid conflict. Key, as he is the one that gets Coriolanus to start rethinking about the attack on the plebians. He get the stones rolling for that which I think is why helps Coriolanus give into his mothers pleads.
