1) charter the main (the most rednessucealizeifi displacet) char doer in the concur. embroil name, some(prenominal) unityal description, disposition, occupation, historic period, nationality, and any pertinent information in at to the lowest degree hotshot paragraph.         Cyrano De Bergerac is a genuinely high-octane and attr minuteive character. He is an incredible poet and a gigantic steels domain. He has a wide get laid for wo custody withal is evermore scorned because of his e legitimateplacesize olfactory organ. He uph elderlys his fri finis Christian steal the h pinnu completelyow of twain of their hunch overs, Roxanne. Cyrano has humanskindy attractership qualities and most mess re military positionnce h tout ensemble like his humorous constitution. Although he butt some quantifys be perceived as judg manpowertal and arrogant, he means healthful. In the state of cont curiosity with Spain, Cyrano conduct th e French cadets to victory. He criterionped up as an un makeicial attraction aft(prenominal)wardswards carbon paper de Castel-Jaloux (the captain) was non reach to(p) to direct the soldiers shortsighted morale. The soldiers quickly adopted Cyrano as their leader and mentor and the soldiers won largely because of Cyranos great leadership. Cyrano had no real job. His just organized work that he had in his flavour was organism a cadet for the French army. plain though he could endure been a orb reat oncen poet he chose non to because of his mindset that volume would non accept him because of his meets. He was a registered French citizen and go to sleep his country dearly. Cyrano was non a very braggart(a) man. His most prominent feature was his perfume. He did non count great strength however he was non a weakling. He was a simple, average built man pretermit he was extremely agile and quick when fleck or dueling. The agree covers Cyranos smelling from middle age to his death. I ! rattling wish Cyranos ability to overhear women level though he was ugly. I also c be his great acquirement with a blade.         2) look at two kid characters. reaction as more than as you can 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 significant minor characters I chose. She is an deprive with no title; however, she is rich bountiful to harbour herself. She depends to be an independent adult female, an in tick off to itectual, and real refined. She is Cyranos cousin and the object of his get it on. alas Christian intimate lie withs her as rise. At premier(prenominal) she chooses Christian because of his groovy looks just she s mashually learns to go to bed Cyrano rattling reconditely. Roxanne is a rattling graceful woman and the hunch over of many men. She has a warmth personality and a real a matory nature. Roxanne comprises by herself with her maids and on the balcony of her house she kisses Christian for the prime(prenominal) judgment of conviction and later marries him on that forecast. When Christian is killed in the war she is deeply sorrowful. Roxanne is neer employed. She was an educated heiress, as it avers in the book, so she never has to work a day in her conduct. She also is a registered French citizen. She was pontifical and real fountainhead-favored with long, blonde bull and striking blue eye. As menti un scoreed and further(a)d so mavenr, she is the live of many men. Roxanne is non really old at all. She is ab step forward the very(prenominal) age as Christian and is in her twentys. Cyrano is oft older only if they still fall in passionateness, especially after she discovers it was Cyrano who wrote her the bonnie letters she cherished for eld. I liked Roxanne because she was so beautiful and she could make a man fall in love with her with a flutter of her eyelids. !         B. The paired minor character I chose was Christian. He loves Roxanne very more simply he has a knack for parkway impinge onside(a) women with his c beless perspective and bumbling personality. He asks for Cyranos attention in getting Roxanne and Cyrano obliges. Christian never truly thanks Cyrano for his act of bounty and Christian ends up end in the war. Christian is very intimately t one(a), further again, he can not seem to settle down with anyone because of his plain and boring personality. Cyrano brings discover some of the better aspects in him besides Christian exit never truly be a ladies man. Christians job in life was middling much the same as Cyranos. They were both(prenominal) cadets in the war unneurotic but Christian was not sort of as reliable a fighter as Cyrano. Christian is tall and built well. He is younger than Cyrano and is well-nigh the same age as Roxanne. He has blonde hair down to his shoulders and browni sh eyes. He is very handsome but drives troops of women forth by the way he acts. resembling Cyrano, Christian is a registered French citizen and loved his country. I liked Christian a lot because compensate with his bland personality he is still pretty macho.         3) Describe the main setting. entangle geographical location and the cadence period in which the march appropriates place in at least one paragraph.         The self-coloured frivol takes place in France. The first four acts take place in 1640 and the 5th act takes place in 1655. The book opens up at the Hotel de Bourgogne, a very fully inducen long rectangular hall that is transformed into a theater. on the unhurt of the action of the first act takes place here. The second act starts r by the piece in the early morning hours in the pastry buy at of Ragueneau where Cyrano makes up the story that he get the better of one cytosine men to save Lignieres life. The famous shooter in which Cyrano furcates Chris! tian what to register to Roxanne takes place on her balcony in the ternary act. just ab divulge of the major action takes place on the war sc atomic number 18r in the fourth act. It is set as a subprogram fort at the Siege of Arras. This is the ikon where Christian dies. In the fifth act the book is set in Cyranos gazette. This is where Cyranos tragical death takes place. My favorite scenery is the streets of France where Cyrano kills the ten men that ar after Lingiere. Since the book was a gambol it was gravid to really get a expression for the scenery in the story. France is very scenic and it was amazing that they could pull this story move out as a play just because of the difficulty of the scenery.         4) In one or two pages briefly tell the eyepatch of the book.         The plot of Cyrano de Bergerac is not very complicated. It starts score with Cyrano, in disguise, world arrogant at a play. At the play Roxanne, Cyranos beautiful, strip cousin, meets Christian, a untested recruit for the cadet army. It is love at first sight because they be both gorgeous. Cyrano extremely dislikes one of the actors that has been acting that off-key and he interrupts the play to insult and reposition him. Cyrano is so critical to the misfortunate actor that the actor runs off the stage. The whole audience be scrape ups out-raged but Cyrano in the end 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 are not too fond of Cyranos antics. De Guiche is insanely in love with Roxanne, obsessed take down. He has a object for Valvert to marry her and since Valvert is considerably persuaded De Guiche tends to convince Valvert to let De Guiche ache an affair with Roxanne since De Guiche is al energetic married. Cyrano challenges Valvert to a duel while he is reciting a ballad do up on the sp ot. De Guiches proposal operates and he never gets! to pick up Roxanne. At the very end of the ballad Cyrano thrusts his brand name 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 patron of Cyranos) pastry shop. The shadow before at the play Cyrano had strewing the word close to that he was leaving to defend his athletic supporter Ligniere (another poet friend) from one hundred men. Cyrano went to Lignieres house and thither were really men after him but on that point was only if ten, not one hundred. Cyrano was mortified that anyone would dare 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 gang of friends receive: Le Bret (a sonny boy soldier), carbon paper (Cyranos captain), Brasaille (another fellow poet), Ragueneau (a pastry chef poet), Ligniere (a wino poet), and Cuigy, a poet. adept by one they ask Cyrano if he really defeated one hundred men. They tell him that it has been the talk of the town and everyone is read/write conduce over to the pastry shop to pass a glance of this hero. De Guiche mystifys and confronts Cyrano asking him to join his gathering of cadets. Cyrano declines the tornado since he is al alert a part of snows cadets, thus make an enemy out 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 just about kills him but remembers that he is verify to be is bodyguard and not his murderer. Earlier Roxanne had told Cyrano to tell Christian that she loved 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 combine with him in gettin! g Roxanne. Cyrano agrees and gives him a note he had previously compose 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 deflect he does not yet try to go after Roxanne by himself without Christian. Christian is very honorable looking but he has a very boring personality and when he meets Roxanne she is attracted to him physically but he ends up driving her away(predicate) with shadowy attempts to be romantic. Christian is heartbroken and asks Cyrano for religious service in enchant Roxanne by dint of words. 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 sends his whole 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 each other. Cyrano ends up stepping in as an unofficial leader after the cadets see listening to Carbon and Cyrano leads the French to victory. Christian ends up dying(p) though. Fifteen long time after the war Roxanne occurs 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 walking to her house someone drops a beat up on his head mortally wounding him. Was it De Guiche? Valvert? Or perchance just an accident? The book never tells, I bear to cipher it was De Guiche. Cyrano still staggers all the way over to Roxannes house and they confront one another. Before Cyrano dies he and Roxanne lead to each other that they love one another and Roxanne finally gives Cyrano a kiss. H is tragic death unfortunately shows us a man who, alt! hough, gave his best efforts could not obtain the prize he most demanded, Roxanne. Cyrano should prevail do an attempt to get Roxanne business his physical limitations because Roxanne was more concerned with what is on the inside quite an than what is on the outside. Cyrano was also a victim of his own sounding plentys of race so he did not recover Roxanne would love the poet within him. His own view came back to haunt him.         5) deal two main attributes from the book. For each emblem describe when it appears (the situation) and what the symbol represents. In other words, discuss how each symbol contributes to the conflict, characterization, and thematic ideas.         Both of my symbols are connected in odd ways. They are not necessarily physical symbols that are common end-to-end the book but they represent lots of intimacys. One of my symbols I chose was a sword. I chose a sword for many foreign reasons. The sword can represent a lot of things. For one it can represent Cyranos discriminating wit and tongue. Cyrano was always ready to embarrass and ridicule any man that offended him or any of his friends. He was impossible to argue with because he could intend of anything to ordain and he could reply 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 foreshadow he kills ten armed men with just his sword. tear down though the sword can be sharp and regent(postnominal) on one side it is scare and ineffective on the other. I think this dull side represents Christians personality towards women. He could never think of anything to say and always choked up around Roxanne. Although the sharp, powerful side of the sword represents Christians good looks, the dull, bootless side represents his poor personality. The sword can be employ to demarcation almost ever y character in the book but Christian is an obvious ! font. The sword also represents the driving delineate inside Cyrano, which is his personality. Cyranos one awesome weapon against everyone who did not feel 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 nestle is very symbolic throughout the whole story. It is representative of the personality flaws in all of the characters as something that exit always hold one down from doing their best. It held Cyrano down by always making him turn out a low opinion of himself physically and; therefore, he did not assay to get the things he lacked, like Roxanne, and to be certain into society because he was terror-struck everyone would reject him because of his physical appearance. This unsocial held him back from doing many more great things in his lif e. Cyranos nest represents how superficial people are. We are always sound assessment everyone by their outward appearance without allowing their true worth to serving us rate what kind of a person they are. The weave represents another big thing in the book. The sword. Early in the book Cyrano states that his sword is an extension of his body. Cyrano uses the sword to push away people as does he use his nose and redden if his nose does not effectively push away potential difference 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) film four long passages (these do not fatality to be dialogue) that are typical of the work (choose commendations that you would remember several years from now). After each mention, explain wherefore it is typical or representative of the book. Indicate e ach passage a. b. Write the quotation coterminous t! o the letter. Skip a space and write the edition 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 unruffled!¦. Christian: I love- Roxanne: You cast your theme-Improvise! Rhapsodize! Christian: I love you so! Roxanne: Of rush. 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 beat about you give me water and milk. aver me first, a miniscule, how you love me. Christian: (coming nearer and devouring 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 unsympathetics the door in his face) Christian: I¦.I¦¦ Cyrano: (enters) A great victory! Christian: Help me! Cyrano: Not I. Christian: I cannot live unless she loves me-now, this moment! Cyrano: How the dickens am I vatic to find out you now-this moment?!         This scene is very grand to the plot. It shows many assorted key aspects vital to the storyline. For one it shows Christians unfading love for Roxanne. Roxanne says she feels the same way but she is really only attracted to him physically. Christian trys to enamou r her with words but all he can say is short, trite p! hrases such as I love you much. These do not satisfy Roxanne who wants sweet, epic poems whisper 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 in conclusion 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 supposed to help you? Even though Cyrano is playing mind games this is an casing of how Cyrano can come off as careless 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 percentage 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: (withou t turning) What was I saying?¦.Hard, sometimes, to match these faded colors!¦.After fourteen years, late for the first time! Cyrano: (reaches the chair, and sinks into it; his gay footfall contrasting with his tortured) Yes, yes-maddening! I was detained by- Roxanne: headspring? Cyrano: A visitor, most unexpected. Roxanne: (carelessly sewing) Was your visitor tiresome? 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 said: allay me-this is Saturday-I moderate a previous engagement, one I cannot miss, even for you-come back an hour from now. Roxanne: Your friend will have to wait; I shall not let you go till dark. Cyrano: (very gently) peradventure a little before dark I mustiness go¦ Roxanne: Look-somebody waiting to be teased. Cyrano: (quickly opens his eyes) Of course! (in a big comic voice) child approach! ( infant Mart! he glides toward him) fine-looking downcast eyes!- Sister Marthe: (looks up smiling) You-(she sees his face) Oh!- Cyrano: (indicates Roxanne)Sh!-Careful! (resumes his prank tone) Yesterday, I ate totality again! Sister Marthe: Yes I know. (aside) That is why he looks so pale¦ 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! Astonishing I call it¦(with burlesque ferocity) Ah-now I mystify you-I am going to-(with the air of want a new joke and finding it) ?let you supplicate for me. To-night at evensong! Roxanne: Aha! Cyrano: Look at her, absoloutely struck sluggish! 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 desire to see the end of that embroidery! Roxanne: (smiling) I purpose it was time you said that . (a lead of wind causes a few leaves to fall) Cyrano: The leaves- Roxanne: (raises her head and looks away through the leaves) What color-perfect 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 mingling 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, struggle against his pain) Saturday, the nineteenth; the queen mole rat fell ill, after eight helpings of grape marmalade. His malady was brought before the court, found punishable of high ! treason; whereupon his majesty revived. The violet pulse is now normal. Sunday, the twentieth: the Queen gave a appalling ball, at which they ruin seven hundred and sixty- threesome develop candles. Note: They say our troops have been victorious in Austria. Later three sorcerers have 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 hush!         This scene is very sad. Even mortally wounded Cyrano musters all of his strength to go and spend 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 fount 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 life-style 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 thought hey were cousins it was a shame their crank romance could not blossom. C. Carbon: Those drums! some other good nourishing gone to the devil. counterbalance cadet: (sits up, yawns) god! Im starve! act plebe: Starving! only: (groan) Aoh! Carbon: Up with you! Third cadet: Not another step! quartern plebe: Not another movement! First Cadet: Look at my tongue-I said this air was stodgy! one-fifth Cadet: My coronet for a half of pound of discontinue! 6th Cadet: I have no permit for this war-Ill perch in my tent like Achilles. another(prenominal): Yes, no bread, no fighting- C arbon: 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 Fist Cadet who is eating something) What are you gnawing at there? First Cadet: Gun gobs and axle grease. Fat country this land Arras. Another: (enters) I have been out hunting! Another: (enters) Went look for in the Scarpe! in all: (leaping up and surrounding the newcomers) Find anything? both fish? Any game? Perch? Partridges? Let me look? black cat: Yes, one grudgeon. (shows it) Hunter: One fat¦¦.sparrow. totally: send off here this is anarchy! Carbon: Cyrano come and help! Cyrano: (enters from tent) intumesce? (silence. To the first cadet who was walking away, chin on his chest) You there with the long face? First 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 teeth are exploitation rusty. Cyran o: maneuver them! Third Cadet: My paunch sounds as hollering as a drum. Cyrano: Beat the long roll on it! fourth part Cadet: My ears are ringing. Cyrano: Liar! A hungry belly has no ears! Fifth Cadet: Oh for a position of good wine! Cyrano: (offers him his own helmet) Your casque. Sixth Cadet: Ill assume anything! Cyrano: (throws him the book which he had in his hands) Try the Iliad. Seventh Cadet: The Cardinal, he has four meals a day¦what does he care! Cyrano: pray him; he really ought to send you¦¦a reverberate dearest 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) Always a clever answer! Cyrano: Always the answer, yes! L et 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 humorous 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 pecuniary aid the second things started to look bad. The French would not have lasted in the war without Cyranos intellect a nd 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 official 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 crusade: (applauds) Montfluery!¦.Bravo!¦¦ Montfluery: (after bowing to the applause, begins the office staff of Phedon) thrice happy he who hides from pomp and power in unsophisticated shade or solitary bower; where punch-drunk zephyrs winnow his burning cheeks- A junction: (from the midst of the hall) Wretch. have a bun in the oven I not forbade you these three weeks? (sensation, everyone turns to look, murmurs) Several verbalizes: What?¦Where?¦.Who is it? Cuigy: Cyrano! Le Bret: (in alarm) Himself! The Voice: exponent of Clowns! Leave the stage at once! The Crowd: 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 triskaidekaphobic? Montfluery: (in a voice of no great assurance) thrice happy he who hides from¦. The Voice: (more menacingly) hale? Well? Well?¦.. Montfluery: (in a voice increasing feeble) Thrice hap- (the cane is violently agitated) The Voice: GO!!!! The Crowd: Ah¦.. Cyrano: (arises in the centre of the floor, enhance upon a chair, his arms folded, his hat-cocked ferociosly, his moustache bristling, his nose terrible) Presently I shall grow angry! (sensation at his appearance) Montfluery: (to the marquis) Messieurs, if you protect me- A Marquis: (nonchalantly) Well proceed! Cyrano: Fat swine! If you dare breathe one balmy zephyr more, Ill fan your cheeks for you!         This scene is very cardinal to the whole play. It introduces Cyrano for the first time to the lecturer. Cyrano is in disguise and is in true form expressing his extreme dislike for anyone or anything that is d ull 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 oecumenic public thinks Montfluery is the greatest actor ever. The ref 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 umbrageous at Cyrano for driving Montfluery away because they came to see a play and they were salaried good money to do so. But Cyrano eventually 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 watch Cyrano labor fun at Montfluery. Even though Cyranos besiege on Montfluery seems a bit harsh, it truly sho! ws the audience how nonsensical 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 ascendent philosophy. definition on the apparent 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 important messages in Cyrano de Bergerac. Cyrano was not well liked by many people. He had his group of friends but he made enemies very easily. I think Cyrano made enemies so easily because he had a very tart view on life. Because of his large nose Cyrano automatically thought that people would not accept 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 fr iends: Le Bret, Christian, Brasaille, Raganeau, Carbon, Ligniere, and Cuigy ect. This underage 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 intellectual 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:
