Le Cid Corneille
The playwright of Le Cid is one written by Corneille sometime before 1636 when it was first performed in France. This was his first play that became a popular hit with the people of France as well as with the King Louis XIII. This play was so well appreciated it was used as a base for many other plays to follow. This play is based on the deeds of a Spanish soldier El Cid. The play relates to Le Cid having to challenge Le Cid's future father in-law to a duel. He is stuck with a dilemma because if he does not set the challenge then he and his father will be dishonored, but if he does he will lose the love of his future bride. The play is based on him solving the dilemma.
