«Le Cid» is the tragicomedy by Pierre Corneille, published by J'ai lu in paperback (96 pages, in French).
Don Rodrigue and Chimène are betrothed, but the enmity between their parents pits love against family honour. Rodrigue must avenge his father and kills Chimène's father; Chimène faces the dilemma of demanding justice or continuing to love him. The conflict between duty and passion runs through the entire work.
