Cid: 5-Näytöksinen Näytelmä
1637
Translated by Eino Leino
A classical drama written in the early 17th century. The play centers around themes of honor, love, and revenge, primarily exploring the conflict and emotional turmoil of the protagonist, Don Rodrigue, with Chimené and their families. The narrative is set during a time of political intrigue and personal betrayal in Spain, showcasing the complexities of relationships under the weight of duty and societal expectations. The opening of the play introduces the audience to Chimène and Elvira, who discuss the possibilities of love and marriage amidst conflict. Chimène is anxious about whether Rodrigo has reciprocated her feelings of love, while Elvira expresses her concern for Chimène's happiness. This conversation hints at deeper themes to come, including honor and familial loyalty, particularly when they discuss the implications of public recognition in their relationships. The tone is laden with tension, as the characters navigate their emotions against a backdrop of social and familial obligations, setting the stage for the ensuing drama.

“Père, maîtresse, honneur, amour,noble et dure contrainte, aimable tyrannie,tous mes plaisirs sons morts, ou ma gloire ternie.L'un me rend malhereux, l'autre indigne du jour.Cher et cruel espoir d'une âme généreuse,mais ensemble amoureuse, digne ennemi de mon plus grand bonheur.Fer qui causes ma peine,M'es-tu donné pour venger mon honneur?M'est-tu donné pour perdre ma Chimène?””
— Pierre Corneille
