Description: Don Rodrigue and Chimene stand holding hands in front of King Don Fernand and a crowd of nobles including most of the other characters of the play. This reunion occurs at the end of the play, after Chimene has revealed that she still loves Rodrigue despite the fact that he killed her father in a duel at the beginning of the play. She is not ready to marry him, however, and so the king decides to send Rodrigue off on a campaign in the hopes that this will give Chimene time to deal with her grief and Rodrigue a chance to prove himself to her.
