Volumnia: A Powerful Figure in Shakespearean Drama Dame Alice Ellen Terry, an esteemed English actress of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, brought to life one of Shakespeare's most complex female characters - Volumnia. In her portrayal, she captured the essence of a strong-willed mother whose influence shaped the destiny of her son. In "Coriolanus" at the Lyceum, a lithograph captures Terry's commanding presence on stage as Volumnia. With her regal bearing and expressive eyes, she embodied the strength and determination that defined this character. In another depiction, an oil painting portrays Coriolanus and his mother locked in a tender embrace. The artist skillfully captured their deep bond and showcased Volumnia's unwavering loyalty towards her son. An engraving showcases a pivotal moment when Volumnia reproaches Brutus and Sicinius for their betrayal. Through this powerful image, we witness her fierce defense of Coriolanus against those who sought to harm him. The illustration from Plutarch depicts Coriolanus standing before the Matrons of Rome while Volumnia looks on with pride. This scene highlights not only his military prowess but also how deeply he valued his mother's opinion. Act V, Scene III is immortalized in yet another engraving where we witness the emotional climax between Coriolanus and his mother. Their intense dialogue reveals both love and conflict as they navigate their differing loyalties. During Act III at the Lyceum Theatre, Terry portrayed a poignant moment where Volumnia pleads with Coriolanus not to march on Rome. Her impassioned plea reflects both her maternal concern for his well-being and her understanding of political consequences. Another lithograph captures an interview between Coriolanus, his wife, and mother - showcasing three generations bound by duty but torn apart by conflicting loyalties, and is within these complex relationships that Volumnia's character truly shines.
