Summary "Cinq Mars — Volume 2" by Alfred de Vigny is a historical novel likely written in the early 19th century. The narrative revolves around themes of power, injustice, and personal vendetta during a time of political turmoil, focusing on the unjust trial and fate of Urbain Grandier, a priest accused of sorcery. The opening portion of the novel sets an intense and foreboding stage marked by public chaos surrounding a trial that has captivated the populace. The main character, Cinq-Mars, observes the emotional upheaval as a young advocate passionately defends the accused Grandier amidst a backdrop of torture and crowd violence. As tensions rise, Cinq-Mars experiences a profound sense of injustice and bitterness, leading him to act out against the corrupt judges.
