Bab 18: Caring for the least and the lowly to find meaning

Ickapoo is lonely because he is different. To quell his loneliness he must care for others, even those lesser or different from him.

Coriolanus is one of Shakespeare's Roman plays and it was originally based on the Plutarch biography of the same name. The play is set during the Roman Republican period at a time before it had spread out much beyond the Italian peninsula. At the time the Republic was facing a number of crises, including a food shortage and border wars with the Volscians. Coriolanus (not his original name, but a name that was given to him in honour of his service to the Republic) is a general in the army, and begins performing civil duties in quelling food riots that are erupting throughout the city. When another border war with the Volscians flares up, he takes his legions and invades the city of Coriolus and captures it for Rome.
