Los sentimientos del Cid

Abstract

A journey through the feelings that have been shaped in the depiction of the Cid as character brings about the analysis of expressive forms, used for the verisimilitude of these feelings, avoiding contradiction with the heroic and epic condition of the character. The consideration of Rodrigo's expressions of sadness, joy, devotion, or gratitude allows to identify the discursive strategies of the poem, which tend to approach the receiver to a positive valuation of the low Castilian nobility.
