That he actually produced 20 plays while a member of parlement , and 12 afterward, is an indication of both his energy and his vitality. A lthough Corneille is regarded as the founder of French tragedy, six of his first eight plays, beginning with Melite (c.1629), were comedies. In each, however, he was working toward the creation of the Cornelian hero. In La Place Royale (1633-34) his comedy does not exclude seriousness. The hero abandons his proposed wife because he feels that love is only a phase in life and does not justify sacrificing duty and freedom. T he best examination of heroic motives occurs in Le Cid (1637), which was influenced by Spanish tales of the famous 11th-century warrior known as El Cid. In this, Corneille's first masterpiece, the hero is placed in a clearly defined social world. The conflict arises between the claims of society and personal choice. In the end, love must be subordinated to a higher sense of purpose. The problem of choice is stressed differently in each of Corneille's major plays. In Le Cid it is honor; in Horace (1640), patriotism; in
