     The character of Caius Martius is the most central reason why Coriolanus is not one of Shakespeare's most popular plays.  He is a character who is excessively proud and arrogant, as he seems to delight in his unpopularity.  He is, however, also  passionate, driven, and fascinating. Caius Martius holds the attention of both the play's characters and its audiences.
