Publisher's Synopsis
Corneille's The Cid is a critical analysis of Pierre Corneille's famous play, The Cid. Written by Roscoe Mongan, the book provides an in-depth exploration of the play's themes, characters, and literary techniques. The Cid is a tragicomedy that tells the story of a Spanish knight named Rodrigue who falls in love with Chimene, the daughter of his father's enemy. When Rodrigue kills Chimene's father in a duel, she demands revenge, but ultimately forgives him and they are able to be together. Mongan's analysis examines the play's use of language, its exploration of honor and duty, and its portrayal of gender roles.
