In the second scene of this play, a woman who loves the title character invites her governess to literally place her hand on her heart to see how it throbs for him.
In the second scene of this play, a woman who loves the title character invites her governess to literally place her hand on her heart to see how it throbs for him. The primary female character, who is attended to by Elvire, is twice convinced that her lover has died; the second time, it is because his sword is triumphantly presented to her by Don (*) Sanche. The title character takes a lesson from that second duel and doesn't kill his opponent, as he had in the first one that had been fought between Don Diegue and Don Gomes, whose daughter Chimène reluctantly agrees to marry the title character just as he's ordered to lead an expedition against the Moors. For 10 points, identify this historical play set in Castille and written by Pierre Corneille.
