Corneille, the renowned French poet and dramatist, left an indelible mark on the literary world with his captivating works. His play "Songes De Pantagruel" transported audiences to a realm of dreams and imagination, where reality intertwined with fantasy. In Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Corneille, we see the multifaceted nature of this creative genius. Just like a crow (or krahe), he possessed an innate ability to captivate his audience through his words and bring them into his poetic universe. A portrait of Pierre Corneille himself reveals a man whose passion for drama radiated from every pore. With each stroke of the brush or pen, he breathed life into characters that would forever be etched in our memories. The poster advertising a performance at Comedie-Francaise on 22 October 1852 speaks volumes about Corneille's enduring legacy. It reminds us that even centuries later, his plays continue to enthrall audiences and stand as testaments to his brilliance. Costume designs for Pauline in Polyeucte transport us back to 1884 when theater-goers marveled at the visual spectacle created by Corneille's words brought to life on stage. Lucinde Paradol's portrayal of Emilie in Cinna captures the essence of Corneille's strong female characters who defied societal norms and fought for their beliefs. Beyond theatrical realms, St. Peter baptizing Centurion Cornelius serves as a reminder that Corneille drew inspiration from biblical stories too – infusing them with dramatic flair and emotional depth. "Cleopatre swallowing poison, " representing the last scene of Act I, showcases Corneille's ability to evoke intense emotions within his audience – leaving them breathless as they witnessed tragic moments unfold before their eyes.
