As the Romans tremble in fear of the Volcians' imminent attack, the Tribunes convince Menenius to beg Coriolanus for mercy but he is stopped by the Volcian watchmen and by Coriolanus himself, who turns him away with a list of conditions. Volumnia arrives next, accompanied by Coriolanus’s wife and child, and together they beg him on their knees to relent. Meanwhile, Aufidius begins to resent Coriolanus and vows to turn on him when the time comes.
