J'ai beaucoup apprécié ma lecture du Cid, même si elle fut dans un contexte académique. La richesse de la langue employée et les personnages déchirés par le dilemme cornélien captent aisément l'attention.

En l'analysant un peu plus en profondeur, il est évident de voir dans la pièce un miroir de la noblesse inquiète de perdre tous ses pouvoirs et sa valeur lors du "Grand Siècle" dans la France de l'Ancien Régime.

Je recommande la lecture de cette pièce à tout lecteur aguerri qui souhaite tout simplement être diverti, ou remettre la place de l'honneur dans sa vie en question
