The second theme is in the major key. It is lyrical, and in its pleading, entreating mood, reflects the influence of his family. The middle
section, the development, depicts the agony of the decision Coriolanus has to make, and after the two main themes have returned, the tragic outcome is revealed. The closing bars represent the death of Coriolanus, an inevitable ending for that proud, heroic figure, who, to a great extent, was responsible for his own tragedy.
