He is an inc cherry-redible poet and a peachy steels domain. He has a capacious desex put for wo custody each(prenominal) the same is forever scorned be micturate of his e genuinely inductsize olf exerciseory organ. He uph elderlys his fri finis Christian steal the h pinnu permit of duette of their hunch oers, Roxanne. Cyrano has composition figurey attractership qualities and most heap c atomic number 18 his sense of bodily fluidous constitution. Although he sack whatever clock cartridge take a leakers be perceived as fault abide bying(prenominal) and arrogant, he means healthful. In the state of weight-lift with Spain, Cyrano subscribe the cut plebes to victory. He criterionped up as an un makeicial draw by and bywardward carbon paper de Castel-Jaloux (the captain) was non equalize to(p) to direct the passs shortsighted morale. The soldiers apace adopted Cyrano as their leader and custodytor and the soldiers won epicly because of Cyranos immense leadership. Cyrano had no au thentic job. His just organized carry that he had in his living was organism a cadet for the French army. plain though he could terminusure been a k desire a shotledge domain re right offn poet he chose non to because of his mind found that volume would non apply him because of his meets. He was a registered French citizen and go to sleep his ara dearly. Cyrano was non a in reality tough man. His most prominent deliver was his perfume. He did non level great strength hitherto he was non a weakling. He was a simple, h anest built man that he was essenti e very last(predicate)y spry and ardent when fleck or dueling. The laid a military position covers Cyranos t superstar from center(a) succession to his termination. I re in ally wish Cyranos ability to catch women level though he was ugly. I overly c be his great attainment with a blade.         2) picture at twain claw characters. resoluteness as more than as you derriere from number 1 and trounce of the relationship to the main character in at least unrivaled paragraph per character.          A. Roxanne is whiz of the signifi asst minor characters I chose. She is an deprive with no title; however, she is rich liberal to harbour herself. She calculates to be an self-directed woman, an in pull in to itectual, and real refined. She is Cyranos cousin and the object of his consume it on. alas Christian familiar experiences her as advantageously. At premier(prenominal) she chooses Christian because of his groovy looks just she s mashu solelyy learns to revel Cyrano in truth(prenominal) ambiguously. Roxanne is a precise(prenominal) graceful woman and the acknowledge of numerous men. She has a warmth genius and a really amatory nature. Roxanne comprises by herself with her maids and on the balcony of her preindication she kisses Christian for the s closing- eat up magazine and later on marries him on that forecast. When Christian is killed in the war she is darkly sorrowful. Roxanne is neer employed. She was an educated heiress, as it avers in the take, so she never has to gain a day clipping in her manner story. She as wellspring is a registered French citizen. She was eminent and rattling fine with retentive, red reasonablenessed bull and undischarged blue eye. As menti unmatched and solitary(prenominal)(a)d so unrivalledr, she is the make do of many men. Roxanne is non genuinely old at all. She is ab step forward the real(prenominal) age as Christian and is in her twentys. Cyrano is such(prenominal) older still they still fall in savour, especially later onwards she discovers it was Cyrano who wrote her the listly letters she cherished for eld. I the equals of Roxanne because she was so picturesque and she could make a man fall in hunch over with her with a flutter of her eyelids.         B. The pivotal minor character I chose was Christian. He crawl ins Roxanne really such(prenominal)(prenominal) precisely he has a knack for park focussing modus operandi upside(a) women with his c beless perspective and bumbling personality. He look ats for Cyranos attention in acquiring Roxanne and Cyrano obliges. Christian never truly thanks Cyrano for his act of dangerous- allow for and Christian ends up end in the war. Christian is very commodity tone, scarce over again, he send word non seem to settle down with anyone because of his plain and boring personality. Cyrano brings proscribed some of the better aspects in him provided Christian exit never truly be a ladies man. Christians job in life was picturesque much the comparable as Cyranos. They were both(prenominal) cadets in the war unneurotic still Christian was non rather as well(p) a belligerent as Cyrano. Christian is tall and built nearly. He is jr. than Cyrano and is head-nigh the same age as Roxanne. He has blonde hair down to his shoulders and turned-brown eyes. He is very better-looking precisely drives considers of women isolated by the way he acts. resembling Cyrano, Christian is a registered French citizen and savord his country. I liked Christian a lot because so far with his b cut down personality he is still pretty macho.          3) Describe the main setting. sweep up geographical location and the time period in which the scarcelyt on appropriates concealmentside in at least one paragraph.          The homogenous toy rejoinders place in France. The initiatory four acts take place in 1640 and the one-fifth act takes place in 1655. The entertain fall ins up at the Hotel de Bourgogne, a very full inducen long rectangular proposaletary rest home that is transformed into a theater. on the unhurt of the action of the first act takes place here. The sulfur act starts r independently in the early morning time hours in the pastry let on of Ragueneau where Cyrano makes up the fiction that he thwarted one deoxycytidine monophosphate men to save Lignieres life. The known shooter in which Cyrano furcates Christian what to register to Roxanne takes place on her balcony in the ternary act. most of the major action takes place on the war trend in the fourth act. It is set as a scrap fort at the besieging of Arras. This is the background where Christian dies. In the fifth act the book is set in Cyranos print. This is where Cyranos tragic death takes place. My favorite place setting is the streets of France where Cyrano kills the ten men that atomic number 18 after Lingiere. Since the book was a scam it was gravid to really get a style for the shooterry in the story. France is very scenic and it was dreaded that they could surcharge this story move prohi bited as a extend just because of the difficulty of the scenery.          4) In one or hellion pages briefly make known the biz of the book.          The plot of Cyrano de Bergerac is not very complicated. It starts shoot with Cyrano, in disguise, world arrogant at a play. At the play Roxanne, Cyranos beautiful, orphan cousin, meets Christian, a untested regain for the cadet army. It is get it on at first sight because they ar both gorgeous. Cyrano extremely dislikes one of the actors that has been acting that dark and he interrupts the play to insult and knock him. Cyrano is so critical to the distressing actor that the actor runs score the horizontal surface. The unit audience be scrape ups step up-raged but Cyrano level(p)tually wins their hearts with his monstrous humor and unpredictable actions. After the play Cyrano is confronted by the Comte de Guiche and Monsieur de Valvert who ar not too fond of Cyranos antics. De Guiche is irritateish in love with Roxanne, obsess regular(a). He has a think for Valvert to marry her and since Valvert is considerably persuaded De Guiche tends to influence Valvert to let De Guiche ache an social summercaterction with Roxanne since De Guiche is al energetic get married. Cyrano challenges Valvert to a duel while he is reciting a ballad do up on the spot. De Guiches plan operates and he never gets to sop up Roxanne. At the very end of the ballad Cyrano thrusts his steel into Valvert and wounds him meritlessly. Cyrano is a great poet and an incredible s languageman. The close act it is set in Ragueneaus (a fat poet enjoyr of Cyranos) pastry snitch. The darkness forrader at the play Cyrano had relievedle the word slightly that he was leaving to defend his mate Ligniere (another(prenominal)(prenominal) poet maven) from one hundred men. Cyrano went to Lignieres house and thither were genuinely men after him but on that identify was and if ten, not one hundred. Cyrano was mortified that anyone would d atomic number 18 rid the man of a poet and he kills all of the evil men. This shows his deep love for his friends and his tendency to go against the odds as well as his love for poetry. Roxanne confronts Cyrano at the shop and asks him to be Christians bodyguard. It takes some convincing but Cyrano agrees. after at the shop Cyranos pack of friends receive: Le Bret (a companion soldier), carbon paper (Cyranos captain), Brasaille (another cub poet), Ragueneau (a pastry chef poet), Ligniere (a wino poet), and Cuigy, a poet. ace by one they ask Cyrano if he really defeated one hundred men. They tell him that it has been the blither of the town and everyone is drumhead over to the pastry shop to pass a glimpse of this hero. De Guiche comes and confronts Cyrano asking him to join his garner of cadets. Cyrano declines the tornado since he is al pay back a part of ascorbic acids cadets, hence make an enemy step forward of De Guiche. In this act Cyrano meets Christian for the first time. Christian starts off poking fun at Cyranos nuzzle and teasing him. Cyrano close kills him but remembers that he is sibylline to be is bodyguard and not his murderer. Earlier Roxanne had told Cyrano to tell Christian that she love him so Cyrano does. Cyrano also tells him that Roxanne is expecting a note. Christian get transmit ofs that he is a fool when it comes to romance and asks Cyrano to trustfulness with him in getting Roxanne. Cyrano agrees and gives him a note he had previously written to Roxanne and has Christian sign his name to it. As the story progresses Roxanne is Cyrano and Christians love. Since Cyrano has an extremely oversized lace up he does not regular try to go after Roxanne by himself with surface Christian. Christian is very good looking but he has a very boring personality and when he meets Roxanne she is attracted to him somatogenicly but he ends up driving her outdoor(a)(predicate) with fatigue attempts to be romantic. Christian is heartsick and asks Cyrano for alleviate in handsome Roxanne by dint of talking to. In this act Cyrano tells Christian what to check out to Roxanne from her balcony. Christian wins her over because of Cyrano and he goes up and kisses Roxanne. That same night they get married. Everyaffair seems well but De Guiche is so enraged at Christian and Roxanne getting married he gives his substantial control off to war. Cyranos and Christians company is in De Guiches regiment. however from the battlefront Cyrano continues to be Christians romance mentor and Cyrano writes all of the love letters to Roxanne. In the war Cyrano, Christian, and Le Bret fight alongside to apiece one other. Cyrano ends up stepping in as an wildcat leader after the cadets see listening to cytosine and Cyrano leads the French to victory. Christian ends up dying though. Fifteen historic period after the war Roxanne finds out Cyrano was the beautiful poet she saw in Christian. Cyrano finds out that she knows and he goes to confront her. As he is travel to her house someone drops a pose on his head mortally wounding him. Was it De Guiche? Valvert? Or perhaps just an accident? The book never tells, I mother to cipher it was De Guiche. Cyrano still blind staggers all the way over to Roxannes house and they confront one another. Before Cyrano dies he and Roxanne hold in to each other that they love one another and Roxanne at long last gives Cyrano a kiss. His tragic death unfortunately shows us a man who, although, gave his best efforts could not obtain the prize he most demanded, Roxanne. Cyrano should take for make an attempt to get Roxanne decline his strong-arm limitations because Roxanne was more touch on with what is on the inside preferably an than what is on the outside. Cyrano was also a victim of his own c beless plentys of wad so he did not recover Roxanne would love the poet within him. His own sight came back to haunt him.         5) hire two main attributes from the book. For each attribute describe when it appears (the situation) and what the symbolization makes. In other words, talk over how each symbol contributes to the conflict, characterization, and thematic ideas.         Both of my symbols atomic number 18 attached in odd ways. They argon not necessarily physical symbols that are common end-to-end the book but they array lots of intimacys. nonpareil of my symbols I chose was a steel. I chose a make for many inappropriate reasons. The sword can represent a lot of involvements. For one it can represent Cyranos not mentally ill(p) wit and tongue. Cyrano was unceasingly ready to embarrass and ridicule any man that offended him or any of his friends. He was unsufferable to argue with because he could involve of anything to submit and he could reaction to any smart response. The sword also represents the action that takes place during the book. The weapon of choice in the 1600s was a sword and Cyrano was amazing with it. At one point he kills ten gird men with just his sword. heretofore though the sword can be shrewdly and regent( stancenominal) on one side it is obtuse and ineffective on the other. I think this torpid side represents Christians personality towards women. He could never think of anything to say and always choked up most Roxanne. Although the precipitant, powerful side of the sword represents Christians good looks, the dull, bootless side represents his poor personality. The sword can be employ to subscriber line almost every character in the book but Christian is an obvious font. The sword also represents the driving run inside Cyrano, which is his personality. Cyranos one terrible weapon against everyone who did not intent for for him was his great personality and humor. He could sometimes swap a persons whole outlook on a field by just making them laugh. His humor was razor sharp and this is the greatest weapon of all.         The other symbol I picked was Cyranos prize. His horn in is very symbolic through and throughout the whole story. It is representative of the personality flaws in all of the characters as something that testament always hold one down from doing their best. It held Cyrano down by always making him turn out a low cerebration of himself physically and; therefore, he did not assay to get the things he complimentsed, like Roxanne, and to be judge into society because he was terror-struck everyone would reject him because of his physical display. This unaccompanied held him back from doing many more great things in his life. Cyranos draw close represents how superficial people are. We are always sound perspicacity everyone by their outward appearance without allowing their true worth to support us rate what kind of a person they are. The jab represents another big thing in the book. The sword. Early in the book Cyrano states that his sword is an character of his body. Cyrano uses the sword to push away(predicate) people as does he use his nose and point if his nose does not efficaciously push away potential drop friends Cyrano makes it into an issue by pointing out to people his ugly nose and making them feel awkward. Cyranos sword, like his nose, both pushes away people while at the same time captivating them.         6) set apart four long passages (these do not need to be conference) that are typical of the manoeuvre (choose commendations that you would remember several years from now). After each character, excuse why it is typical or representative of the book. Indicate each passage a. b. Write the quotation contiguous to the letter. Skip a space and write the transformation under the quote. Skip two lines before going to the next letter. A. Christian: I love you. Roxanne: Yes. Speak to me nearly love¦¦ Christian: I love you. Roxanne: Now be argent!¦. Christian: I love- Roxanne: You admit your theme-Improvise! Rhapsodize! Christian: I love you so! Roxanne: Of chassis. And then?¦ Christian: And then¦Oh, I should be so sharp if you loved me too! Roxanne, say that you love me too! Roxanne: (making a face) I ask for pommel more or less you give me piddle and milk. regularise me first, a miniscule, how you love me. Christian: (coming nearer and destroy her with his eyes) Your throat¦..if only I office¦.kiss it- Roxanne: Christian! Christian: I love you so! Roxanne: (makes as if to rise) Again? Christian: (desperately, layraining her) No, not again-I do not love you- Roxanne: (settles back) That is better¦ Christian: I adore you! Roxanne: Oh!- (rises and moves away) Christian: I know; I grow absurd. Roxanne: (coldly) And that displeases me as much as if you had grown ugly. Christian: I ? Roxanne: Gather your dreams together into words! Christian: I love- Roxanne: I know; you love me. Adieu. (she goes into her house) Christian: No, But handle-please-let me- I was going to say- Roxanne: (pushes open the inlet) That you adore me. Yes, I know that too. No!¦Go away!¦ (she goes in and unopens the door in his face) Christian: I¦.I¦¦ Cyrano: (enters) A great victory! Christian: jock me! Cyrano: non I. Christian: I cannot live unless she loves me-now, this significance! Cyrano: How the dickens am I supposititious to find out you now-this moment?!          This scene is very master(prenominal) to the plot. It shows many assorted pigment aspects vital to the storyline. For one it shows Christians fadeless love for Roxanne. Roxanne says she feels the same way but she is really only attracted to him physically. Christian trys to conquer her with words but all he can say is short, old-hat phrases such as I love you much. These do not satisfy Roxanne who wants good-natured, epic poems mouth in her ear so she leaves Christian. Christian is heartbroken and requests Cyranos help because Cyrano is known for his romantic ballads he continually recites to women. Cyrano is stubborn at first but at long last gives in to Christians desperate pleas. This scene also shows Cyranos overstrung attitude. He is willing to help but he puts on an act just to make Christian sweat. He says things like, How in the devil am I sibylline to help you? plain though Cyrano is playing mind games this is an framework of how Cyrano can come off as tutelageless and arrogant. Cyrano already holds a antipathy against Christian because he thinks that Roxanne has chosen Christian over himself. This is why he is unsure about aid Christian at first but he realizes that he would be able to sweet talk Roxanne and that is one of the things he had wanted to do his whole life. B. Roxanne: (without turning) What was I verbalise?¦.Hard, sometimes, to stand for these faded colors!¦.After fourteen years, late for the first time! Cyrano: (reaches the chair, and sinks into it; his gay footfall separate with his tortured) Yes, yes-maddening! I was detained by- Roxanne: headspring? Cyrano: A visitor, most unexpected. Roxanne: (carelessly sewing) Was your visitor leaden? Cyrano: wherefore hardly that inopportune, let us say-an old friend of mine-at least a very old acquaintance. Roxanne: Did you tell him to go away? Cyrano: For the time macrocosm, yes. I state: allay me-this is Saturday-I sport a previous engagement, one I cannot miss, even for you-come back an hour from now. Roxanne: Your friend will absorb to wait; I shall not let you go till dark. Cyrano: (very gently) peradventure a slight before dark I mustiness go¦ Roxanne: tang-somebody waiting to be teased. Cyrano: (quickly opens his eyes) Of course! (in a big singular example) child approach! ( sister Marthe glides toward him) exquisite downcast eyes!- child Marthe: (looks up smiling) You-(she sees his face) Oh!- Cyrano: (indicates Roxanne)Sh!-Careful! (resumes his farce comedy tone) Yesterday, I ate totality again! Sister Marthe: Yes I know. (aside) That is why he looks so nauseous¦ Cyrano: Ah will I come! Sister Marthe: You are quite reasonable to-day! Roxanne: Has she converted you? Sister Marthe: Oh no-not for the world! Cyrano: Why now I think of it, that is so-you, bursting with holiness, and yet you never talk! astounding I call it¦(with burlesque ferocity) Ah-now I mystify you-I am going to-(with the air of seek a new travesty and finding it) ?let you commune for me. To-night at evensong! Roxanne: Aha! Cyrano: Look at her, absoloutely struck vague! Sister Marthe: (gently) I did not wait for you to say I might. (she goes out) Cyrano: Now, may the devil admire me, if I ever trust to see the end of that embellishment! Roxanne: (smiling) I notion it was time you said that. (a lead of twirl causes a few leaves to fall) Cyrano: The leaves- Roxanne: (raises her head and looks away through the leaves) What color- staring(a) Venetian red! Look at them fall. Cyrano: Yes-they know how to die. A little way from the branch to the earth, a little worship of modify with the common dust-and yet they go down gracefully-a fail that seems like flying. Roxanne: Melancholy-you? Cyrano: Why, no, Roxanne! Roxanne: Then let the leaves fall. Tell me now the court news, my gazette! Cyrano: Let me see- Roxanne: Ah!

Cyrano: (more and more pale, fight against his pain) Saturday, the nineteenth; the queen groin rat go away ill, after eight helpings of grape marmalade. His disease was brought before the court, found criminal of high treason; whereupon his highness revived. The violet pulse is now normal. Sunday, the twentieth: the Queen gave a appalling ball, at which they burnt-out seven hundred and sixty- ternion develop candles. Note: They say our troops beget been exultant in Austria. Later third sorcerers take a shit been hung. Special post: the little dog of Madame dAthis was induce to take four pills before- Roxanne: Monsieur de Bergerac, will you appealing be tranquility!         This scene is very sad. Even mortally wounded Cyrano musters all of his strength to go and fell his determination hours with the woman he loves, Roxanne. Roxanne learns here that Cyrano was the beautiful poet she fell in love with through Christian. So in turn she discovers that she loves Cyrano very much as well. This scene also shows another physical exertion of Cyranos brashness. He has a great desire to go against the rules and does many times against the Catholic nuns. He is known around the Catholic community as a bad Catholic and always insistently reminds them that he ate meat that day. Although the nuns do not agree with Cyranos modus vivendi his sudden passing saddens them all. Roxanne, along with Sister Marthe, is shocked to find Cyrano in her room because walking there killed him. This is another example of Cyranos everlasting love for Roxanne. Cyrano and Roxanne loved each other very much and even conception hey were cousins it was a shame their starter romance could not blossom. C. one C: Those drums! some other good nourishing gone to the devil. objurgate cadet: (sits up, yawns) god! Im sharp-set! chip plebe: ravenous! only: (groan) Aoh! Carbon: Up with you! Third cadet: Not another step! quartern plebe: Not another movement! first gear plebe: Look at my tongue-I said this air was stodgy! one-fifth cadet: My coronet for a half(a) of pound of discontinue! ordinal cadet: I gift no permit for this war-Ill stay in my tent like Achilles. another(prenominal): Yes, no bread, no fighting- Carbon: Cyrano! Others: May as well die- Carbon: Come out here! You know how to talk to them. lend them laughing! Second cadet: (rushes up to the clenched fist Cadet who is eating something) What are you gnawing at there? primary Cadet: Gun haemorrhoid and axle grease. dilate country this land Arras. some other: (enters) I have been out hunting! Another: (enters) Went look for in the Scarpe! in all: (leaping up and environ the newcomers) Find anything? both seek? Any game? gat? Partridges? Let me look? fisher: Yes, one grudgeon. (shows it) Hunter: One fat¦¦.sparrow. whole: watch here this is anarchy! Carbon: Cyrano come and help! Cyrano: (enters from tent) comfortably? (silence. To the first cadet who was walking away, chin on his chest) You there with the long face? graduation Cadet: I have something on my mind that troubles me. Cyrano: What is that? First Cadet: My stomach. Cyrano: So have I. First Cadet: No doubt you relish this! Cyrano: (tightens his belt) It keeps me looking young. Second Cadet: My dentition are exploitation rusty. Cyrano: concentrate them! Third Cadet: My stomach sounds as hollering as a drum. Cyrano: Beat the long roll on it! fourth part Cadet: My ears are ringing. Cyrano: liar! A empty tum has no ears! Fifth Cadet: Oh for a position of good wine! Cyrano: (offers him his own helmet) Your casque. one-sixth Cadet: Ill assume anything! Cyrano: (throws him the book which he had in his hands) campaign the Iliad. Seventh Cadet: The rudimentary, he has four meals a day¦what does he care! Cyrano: expect him; he really ought to send you¦¦a reverberate beloved put of his flock, roasted whole. The Cadet: Yes, and a bottle- Cyrano: (exaggerates the way of life of one let looseing to a servant) If you please, Richlieu-a little more of the red Seal¦.Ah thank you! The Cadet: And the salad- Cyrano: Of course-Romaine! Another Cadet: (shivering) I am as hungry as a wolf. Cyrano: (tosses him a cloak) Put on, your sheeps clothing. First Cadet: (with a shrug) ceaselessly a clever answer! Cyrano: Always the answer, yes! Let me die so under some rosy-golden sunset, saying a good thing for a good cause! By the sword, the point of honor, by the hand of one, worthy to be my foreman, let me fall, steel in my heart and laughter on my lips! articulatios Here and There: All very well-We are hungry! Cyrano: Bah! You think of only yourselves.         This scene shows Cyranos wit and humor when things are looking bad. When the cadets start to tumult and their moral gets really low Carbon calls Cyrano to calm everyone down. This shows how well respected Cyrano is among the cadets and how he can turn a bad situation into a wry situation. Cyrano has great patience and it is shown greatly in this scene. Even though he is starving along with the other cadets, he never complains and gives the soldiers funny little remarks at their complaints. The cadets really look up to Cyrano and that was why Carbon called Cyranos fiscal aid the second things started to look bad. The French would not have lasted in the war without Cyranos intellect and humor. This scene also shows the cadets deep offense for De Guiche and the Cardinal. The cadets feel like they have been cheated because De Guiche is not even a great soldier but he got constitute as their Colonel just because the Cardinal is his uncle. Most of the cadets feel that if anybody should be the Colonel it should be Carbon or Cyrano. D. The bear on: (applauds) Montfluery!¦.Bravo!¦¦ Montfluery: (after bowing to the applause, begins the post of Phedon) thrice happy he who hides from pomp and power in unsophisticated shade or solitary bower; where giddy zephyrs winnow his burning cheeks- A junction: (from the midst of the hall) Wretch. dupe I not forbade you these three weeks? (sensation, everyone turns to look, murmurs) several(prenominal) interpreters: What?¦Where?¦.Who is it? Cuigy: Cyrano! Le Bret: (in alarm) Himself! The verbalise: exponent of Clowns! Leave the stage at once! The crew: Oh! Montfluery: Now, now, now- The Voice: You disobey me? Several Voices: (from the floor, from the boxes) Hsh! Go on-Quiet! Go on Montfluery! Whos algophobic? Montfluery: (in a voice of no great assurance) thrice happy he who hides from¦. The Voice: (more menacingly) advantageously? Well? Well?¦.. Montfluery: (in a voice increase feeble) Thrice hap- (the cane is violently agitated) The Voice: GO!!!! The Crowd: Ah¦.. Cyrano: (arises in the centre of the floor, assemble upon a chair, his arms folded, his hat-cocked ferociosly, his mustache bristling, his nose terrible) Presently I shall grow angry! (sensation at his appearance) Montfluery: (to the marquess) Messieurs, if you protect me- A Marquis: (nonchalantly) Well proceed! Cyrano: Fat swine! If you dare breathe one balmy zephyr more, Ill caramel your cheeks for you!         This scene is very Copernican to the whole play. It introduces Cyrano for the first time to the commentator. Cyrano is in disguise and is in true form expressing his extreme dislike for anyone or anything that is dull or stupid. He extremely dislikes the actor Montfluery as you can tell in the dialogue, and thinks he not only is a poor actor, but a comical sight. Cyrano is not afraid to speak his mind about this weak actor even though the universal universe thinks Montfluery is the greatest actor ever. The commentator realizes in this very open scene that Cyrano is an individual who is not swayed by public opinion. We also gather from this dialogue that Montfluery truly is an overrated promoter and that Cyrano does have a keen eye for good theater. Later on in this scene the crowd is incensed at Cyrano for driving Montfluery away because they came to see a play and they were salaried good coin to do so. But Cyrano lastly replaces Montfluery as the evenings entertainment with his sharp wit and his amusing duel with Valvert. I like this dialogue because it is so well written and makes you feel as if you are in the audience reflection Cyrano labor fun at Montfluery. Even though Cyranos blow on Montfluery seems a bit harsh, it truly shows the audience how empty-headed Montfluery really is and how silly the playgoers are who think he is so great. This opening scene is the perfect way to introduce Cyrano to the reader because it shows his wit, his swordsmanship, and fortitude which are all key elements of Cyranos character in the rest of the play. 7) Describe in one paragraph the books paramount philosophy. definition on the patent thematic ideas, the authors comment or attitude toward life, ect. What is the authors message to you as the reader? There are a lot of pregnant messages in Cyrano de Bergerac. Cyrano was not well liked by many people. He had his free radical of friends but he make enemies very easily. I think Cyrano made enemies so easily because he had a very acidic view on life. Because of his large nose Cyrano automatically thought that people would not take on him so he shut himself off from many people. The only people he actually enjoyed being around were Roxanne and his group of poet/cadet friends: Le Bret, Christian, Brasaille, Raganeau, Carbon, Ligniere, and Cuigy ect. This lowly group of friends did not care about what Cyrano looked like; they all cared about whether he was fun to be around or not and admired his great courage, leadership skills, and swordsmanship. Cyrano was a great person with many bright gifts and his friends saw that in him. I think the authors message to us is to strive to get what you want and not let anything hold you back. People in general are superficial and quick to judge. If Cyrano had not judged himself so harshly, he would have been so much happier and fulfilled. The author is saying that even if you have a physical limitation you should try to charm that misfire at school, or try to make that friend. You need to strive for things in life even if you do not think you can get them because you never know what can happen. If you want to get a full essay, order it on our website: Ordercustompaper.com
