摘要
科里奥兰纳斯热爱自身的高贵即"勇武"的德性更甚于城邦本身,并以城邦为实现自身高贵之工具;但在城邦特别是城邦平民看来,"勇武"无论多么高贵,终不过是保障城邦和平或人民安全的工具。双方均自视为城邦的主人,城邦就此分裂。科里奥兰纳斯公然蔑视大众,竟被后者逐出家园;为复仇他不顾一切,甚至舍弃亲情,几乎毁灭了自己的祖国。然而,爱欲的力量不可战胜:受其感召,化身嗜血"孤龙"的罗马之子科里奥兰纳斯最终实现了城邦(同时也是自身灵魂)的和平,以死亡为代价完成了自己作为城邦爱人和高贵战士的德性与命运。
The Roman hero Coriolanus loves his Virtue or valor more than his polis,which leads to the hatred of the plebeians,who believe that they are the city and that Virtue is nothing but an instrument used to safeguard peace of the city; hence an irreconcilable 'class war'within the polis. Banished from Rome as a result of the tribunes' plot,Coriolanus becomes 'a lonely dragon'thirsting for revenge. Indeed,he would destroy Rome,were it not for the love for his mother,his wife and his little son. In the triple mirror of love,he recognizes his former self,i. e. Rome's lover. Together with this recognition follows a new resolution and the revolution of his fate: he is killed as a traitor by his enemy- ally,whereby he redeems his former identity and fulfils his virtue,i. e. love for his polis.
