Francis I. The content of the book revolves around the interactions and inner conflicts of two main characters, Clément and Catherine. In "La Fille abhorrant mariage," the dialogue reveals Catherine's strong desire for virginity and a life dedicated to God, despite Clément's attempts to persuade her toward love and marriage. The second play, "La Vierge repentie," continues this exploration, depicting Catherine's struggle as she reflects on her commitment to remain a nun, fighting against societal and familial pressures that seek to pull her into a conventional married life.
