Corneille, Tome 04" by Pierre Corneille is a collection of dramatic works written in the 17th century. This volume primarily includes the tragedy "Pompée," which explores themes of power, loyalty, and ambition against the backdrop of ancient Rome. The central figures involve the conflicted characters of Pompée, Cléopâtre, and various agents of political intrigue, demonstrating the complexity of human emotions intertwined with grand historical narratives. The opening of "Pompée" sets the stage with a tense political discussion among the characters Ptolomée, Photin, and Achillas regarding the fate of the defeated general Pompée, who seeks refuge in Egypt after being overthrown. The dialogue reveals Ptolomée's inner turmoil as he weighs the decision to either protect Pompée or betray him to the rising power of Julius Caesar. As the arguments unfold, the themes of moral obligation versus self-preservation emerge, foreshadowing the intertwined destinies of Rome and Egypt as well as the tragic consequences of political decisions. The characters' motivations and the socio-political climate create a gripping introduction that draws readers into the complexities of loyalty and power dynamics in Corneille's work.
