"The women were tied to a tree,
Left there to be shamed in the eyes of God and men."
The way in which the two daughters of Le Cid are described is pitiful. These two characters have no power whatsoever and are forced to remain by their husbands' side even though they are mistreated, beaten, and abused. The only people who can help them are other men but even then the risk of them ending up being abused is extremely high. The two daughters adapted to this new situation and became accustomed to their situation. As such, instead of trying to fight against it, they tried to work around it and do their best to be happy.
"There is no point in me living a life without honor."
After the king exiles Le Cid, he is depressed and desperate. Once he ended in that situation, Le Cid felt as if he was a doomed man, a person whose situation was worst than that of a beggar. From that point on, all his efforts were aimed towards gaining back his honor and becoming one of the King's favorites.
"This man shall be dead to me and dead to the rest of the world."
Upon hearing about Le Cid's presumed betrayal, the King exiled the man who was once his figurative right hand. The sentence he gave is similar to the one God gave to Cain after he killed his brother. This quote is thus important because it transmits the idea that the King was the most powerful person during that time. He was seen as a God among his people and everything he wanted had to take place without fail.
