Building on this genealogy of constancy, the final chapters read Shakespeare's Roman plays as his reworking of a triptych of figures found in Plutarch: the constant Brutus, the inconstant Antony, and the obstinate Coriolanus. The tragedies of these characters. Miles demonstrates, act out the attractions, flaws, and self-contradictions of constancy, and the tragicomic failure of the Roman hope that 'were man/But constant, he were perfect'.
