Topic: Volumnia


In the News (Wed 15 Feb 12)

  
  Audience Dialogue: Tales from the field (5)
That was exactly the sort of thing Volumnia would do, we said to each other in the office: to send her little brother on an errand for her.

Volumnia, despite her other faults, is neither shy nor retiring, not the sort of person likely to have isolated herself with her child.
She thoroughly appreciates the subtlety of strength in the acceptance of weakness and the futility of stubborn persistence in the face of certain opposition; her son considers all this to be merely weakness.
Volumnia's dismissive “Away, you fool” then becomes a repetition of her defense against her own fears for her “tender-bodied” child: she dismissed her fears by telling herself that she was just being foolish.

Volumnia uses wordplay to reinterpret Coriolanus's name to symbolize his allegiance to Corioles and the Volscies and not to Rome when she says, "To his surname 'Coriolanus' 'longs more pride/ Than pit to out prayers." (5.3.171-172).
Volumnia's metaphors, which center around her reproductive capacity, echo with her threat that the gods will punish Coriolanus for his unnatural resistance to follow his mothers wishes.
Volumnia acts to further strengthen her position in her speech to Coriolanus by claiming that the gods are on her side and will punish Coriolanus for his disobedience.

 Coriolanus -- 1992
In Act V, scene iii, Coriolanus's mother Volumnia is confident that she can persuade her son to spare Rome even though he is likely to lose his life to the Volsces as a consequence.
Volumnia herself explains that she not only raised him to become a military hero, she furnished him with her own cold honor, reminding him that his "valiantness" before the walls of Corioles "was mine" (III, ii, l.129).
He is characteristically referred to by himself and others as being alone, as when he calls himself a "lonely dragon." Volumnia can control Coriolanus because no one else has any attachment to him at all, a situation that she has engineered from the time of his birth.
