Le Cid
Rodrigue et Chimène s'aiment et s'apprêtent à se marier. Mais lorsque le comte de Gomès, le père de Chimène, donne un soufflet à don Diègue, celui de Rodrigue, c'est au jeune homme que revient le devoir de laver, dans le sang, l'outrage fait à son vieux père. Rodrigue a « du coeur », mais il ne sait que faire : mourir sans offenser Chimène ? Se venger et la perdre ? Cruel dilemme.
Le Cid est un poème amoureux. Corneille raconte l'histoire d'une jeunesse que ses aînés condamnent au renoncement et que les sentiments poussent à la révolte.

Pierre Corneille
Pierre Corneille ( kor-NAY, French: ; 6 June 1606 – 1 October 1684) was a French tragedian. He is generally considered one of the three great 17th-century French dramatists, along with Molière and Racine.
As a young man, he earned the valuable patronage of Cardinal Richelieu, who was trying to promote classical tragedy along formal lines, but later quarrelled with him, especially over his best-known play, Le Cid, about the medieval Spanish warrior, which was denounced by the newly formed Académie française for breaching the unities. He continued to write well-received tragedies for nearly forty years.
