Love Poisoned by Jealousy

"One fire drives out one fire, one nail, one nail;
Rights by rights founder, strengths by strengths do fail.
Come, let's away. When, Caius, Rome is thine,
Thou art poor'st of all; then shortly art thou mine." (IV. 7. 54-57)

What a great way of ending Act IV by leaving the audience in suspense and anticipation of what will happen in V. We all know that Coriolanus is doomed to die in this tragedy, but now we have an idea of how it will happen. After reading these lines, I thought "whoa whoa, what happened to 'Let me twine mine arms about thy body' (IV. 5. 110-111)'" Obviously there were some homoerotic connotations there in Aufidius's speech to Coriolanus; however, now it seems that Aulfidius's feelings of jealousy and contempt are drowning out the feelings of brotherly (or maybe even more than brotherly?) love that he felt for the exiled Roman general. You can hardly blame him though. Coriolanus, once the greatest enemy of the Volscians, now becomes the most admired amongst the Volscians, kicking poor Aulfidius out of the picture. Coriolanus's impending death is only a testament to this quote:

"Jealousy is said to be the offspring of love. Yet, unless the parent makes haste to strangle the child, the child will not rest until it has poisoned the parent." (A.W. Hare & J.C. Hare Guesses at Truth)
