Annotation:
	Contends that Ralph Fiennes’ Coriolanus (q.v.) makes performance choices that represent the citizens of Rome as factious rather than as fickle, as they are often portrayed. Notes that, in terms of democracy, fickleness is seen as negative trait, whereas factiousness is integral part of political system because it allows for diversity of opinions. Argues Fiennes emphasizes citizens' factiousness through “changes to dialogue, staging, and the race and ethnicity of the characters.”
