Pierre Corneille, you are my bitch lover!

so i'm pretty much up to my knees elbows neck hair? in 17th century french lit right now. ahhh. actually i really enjoy it, but i've gotten behind on readings and it's kicking my butt trying to catch up. I just finished Le Cid. Now I'm about to start La Querrelle du Cid (42 pages), which is an essay explaining why these two critics thought Le Cid was awful, but i'm pretty sure they just wrote it out of jealousy towards Corneille. Then I have to read an essay (16 pages) about Le Cid, which is actually laudatory of the play. THEN... I have to read a classmates 3 pages analysis of the play to discuss in class tomorrow. Did I mention it's 1:52am! but hey, i needed a break from all the french. time to get back to the ol' meule à aiguiser (grindstone).
