A dramatic love story who could remind you of Romeo and Juliet tragedy. Rodrigues loves Chimène, but he has to kill her father in order to avenge is own. He's torn between his family's honor and his deep love for Chimène.
A good play.

Very, very melodramatic. Which also made it fun to read! But at the end I must admit I'd had enough of all this "glory & honor".

Et lorsque le malade aime sa maladie,
Qu'il a peine à souffrir que l'on y remédie !

They call this a "tragi-comedie" ... but I don't see how this story is tragic OR comedic.

No está mal, pero tengo un serio conflicto con el asunto de tratar a la chica como un premio.
