Œuvres de P. Corneille, Tome 02 by Pierre Corneille
"Œuvres de P. Corneille, Tome 02" by Pierre Corneille is a collection of plays written in the early 17th century. This volume includes Corneille's works, such as "La Galerie du Palais", which are significant contributions to French theatre and drama. The text explores themes of love, societal expectations, and the intricate dynamics between characters, particularly in romantic entanglements. The opening of "La Galerie du Palais" introduces us to several characters, primarily focusingon Célidée and Lysandre, who are entangled in a love affair that is complicated by misunderstandings and rival affections. Célidée grapples with her feelings while maintaining a façade of indifference, whereas Lysandre is deeply affected by her coldness. The play also includes the interactions between their confidants, such as Florice and Aronte, who influence the romantic developments. With witty dialogues and a lively setting depicting Parisian society, the beginning sets the stage for a comedic exploration of love and the games people play.
