Corneille, Tome 06" by Pierre Corneille is a collection of dramatic works written during the 17th century. This volume specifically presents the tragedy "Pertharite, Roi des Lombards," which deals with themes of power, betrayal, and familial conflict. The play centers around the character of Pertharite, the titular king, whose struggles against the tyranny of his brother Gundebert and an adversarial nobleman, Grimoald, create a rich backdrop for examining loyalty and ambition. The opening of "Pertharite, Roi des Lombards" sets the stage for a world where political intrigues and personal vendettas collide. It begins with a discourse between Rodelinde, the wife of Pertharite, and Unulphe, as they discuss the fallout from Pertharite's defeat and his subsequent exile. Rodelinde's fierce determination to uphold the honor of her husband contrasts with the political machinations of those around her, including Grimoald's ambitions and her own conflicted emotions about power and loyalty. As she navigates her grief and anger, the complex relationships between the characters hint at the larger themes of vengeance, love, and the consequences of ambition that will unfold throughout the play.
