When it comes to France, many people think of romantic, tender, dreamy, gentlemanly. In French classical literature, male and female protagonists often meet in scenes such as banquets, banquets, churches, galleries, etc., and because of mutual suspicion or mutual trust, they produce a series of or lingering pity or thrilling strange things.

The representative play of the French writer Corneille, "Cid", tells the inseparable, bumpy and tortuous love story between a man and a woman. The storyline of Cid is directly based on the Spanish playwright Giren ▪ Castro's Play of the Cid's Youth.

The protagonist, Don ▪ Rodik, is the son of Don ▪ Deirag, a veteran minister of the Spanish Kingdom of Casty, and falls in love with Shi Manna, daughter of the proud hero of the world, Count Don ▪ Gomez.

The king decided to choose a teacher for the prince, and eventually Diag was appointed the prince's master. Gaumes, jealous, slapped Diagle in the verbal altercation. Diag was furious and wanted his son to avenge himself in order to save face. After a fierce ideological struggle, Roddick decided to give up his love. He stepped forward and killed Shi Mana's father in a duel.

Faced with Roddick, who killed her father, Shi Manna was very troubled. With a sense of responsibility to the family, Shi Manna asked the king to severely punish his father's murderer in order to avenge his father's murder. Just as the conflict intensified, the foreign Moors invaded the Kingdom of Casdi. Roddick charged forward, took the lead, tried his best to repel the enemy's attack, and became a national hero admired by everyone.

The captured Moorish king, timidly but respectfully referring to Don ▪ Roddick as the Cid, was in awe of Roddick. When Roddick triumphed, the king patiently enlightened and mediated from it, and Rodick and Shi Manna finally untied the knot, let go of their grudges, and became a pair of lovers with hearts and minds.

Roddick and Shimana are both independent of each other and dependent on each other. When there was no conflict between their parents, the feelings between the 2 were relatively stable, and there was no major disagreement. When there is a conflict between the fathers, the two people do not just think from the perspective of individuals, but also contribute to maintaining the peace and stability of the entire family. The hero Roddick obeys the orders of his father Diegg and kills the heroine's father, showing the thinness and powerlessness of personal feelings under patriarchal rule, and the fact that one person's love often involves the interests of the entire family.

The happiness and stability of the small family are often closely related to everyone's honor and status. If Rodick and ShiMana want to walk hand in hand and build the happiness of a small family, then what Rodick and the soldiers fight side by side and fight bravely to kill the enemy is to defend the honor and security of the country composed of thousands of small families.

When there was a conflict between the "small family" and the "big family", Roddick bravely fought, a move that showed his loyalty and love for the country, and reflected a citizen's high sense of responsibility for safeguarding the dignity of the country and defending the territorial integrity of the country. This kind of voluntary dedication was finally affirmed and praised by the king, and also praised and sought after by the vast number of people, which shows that the happiness of individuals and the realization of ideals are inseparable from caring for the people and paying attention to society.

In fact, in addition to personal interests and national interests, personal happiness and national happiness, "Cid" also shows a variety of contradictions and conflicts. The conflict between family affection and love, the conflict between fathers and children, the conflict between understanding and forgiveness, the conflict between feelings and reason, all test the protagonist.

It is blind and impulsive to allow the waves of feelings to churn and not to restrain and regulate them intellectually. When the sweet dreams created by beautiful appearance, elegant posture, soft words, and affectionate eyes drift away, people who fall into feelings due to a momentary impulse are inevitably discouraged and depressed.

By deliberately thinking and carefully choosing before being put into it, it is easier to achieve the resonance of the spirit and soul in a unified pace, and it also proves the abundance of wisdom. After going through many tests, Rodick and Shi Manna both recognized their inner needs, and finally broke through the shackles from the family and the outside world, and finally became a lover.

What the Cid reveals is the individual and the individual, the individual and the group, the group and the group. It involves the honor, dignity, responsibility, mission, enterprising and loyalty of the individual, as well as the inclusion, warmth, humility, understanding, tolerance and thoughtfulness of the group. Just as the original meaning of "Cid" is "lord, king", everyone who can determine the direction of his life is a true king.
