Summary "Le prince corsaire" by Paul Scarron is a tragicomedy written in the mid-17th century. This dramatic work centers around Orosmane, a corsair prince who loves Princess Elise, set against the backdrop of political intrigue and themes of love and ambition in the island of Cyprus. It presents a tapestry of characters entangled in personal desires, royal duties, and the consequences of ambition, promising a blend of romance and drama. At the start of the play, the audience is introduced to Sebaste and Clarice, who discuss the political turmoil following the death of a king and the challenges faced by Princess Elise and her sister, Alcione, regarding their potential fates. Conflicts arise as Elise mourns her lost love, Alcandre, feared dead, and navigates the pressures from her uncle Nicanor and the ambitions of Amintas, both vying for power. The opening sets the stage for the prince’s intentions to ally with the fearsome Orosmane, who offers military support but may also pose a significant threat to Elise's heart and future.
